All we needed was a good dose of vitamin-sea!!…

Such a great day to be beside the seaside.

And then came the best part, soaking our toes in the sea!

Dementia Choir at Hill House

Each month, our four homes unite for the Dementia Choir, where our residents come together to sing, socialize, and have a great time. This event is filled with joyful moments, as everyone sings their favourite melodies and enjoy the company of their peers. This choir is an excellent opportunity for our residents to stay engaged, improve their cognition, and improve their cognitive abilities. We’re delighted to see the positive impact this choir has on the well-being and happiness of our residents.

The best place to relax and chit-chat, our luscious garden.

Relaxing in our garden and appreciating each other’s company.

Our dear residents are expressing their affection in different ways. Some are arranging flowers, while others are seizing every chance to display their love for their significant other. Its heart-warming to witness such sincere love and care in our home.

 

Our dear resident attending her family wedding in style!

All thanks to our lovely manager Debbie and of course Donna for putting in so much thought and effort to decorate her wheelchair, making her look even more radiant and special. Team Woodlands is very proud to have been able to contribute to this momentous occasion for our resident and her family.

Monthly Residents Meeting

Our residents had their monthly meeting with Alison, discussing various agendas. Also acknowledged the sunflower award winners for their efforts in keeping the residents happy and ensuring their stay is smooth and comfortable.

Tinkerbell the therapy dog brings joy to our residents with warm cuddles and hugs.

The rejuvenating effects of her visits are palpable as she brightens the spirits of everyone she encounters. Tinkerbell’s presence is a constant reminder of the healing power of love and companionship, and we are grateful to have her as a part of our home.

Pet therapy provides numerous benefits for individuals, including reduced stress and anxiety, increased socialization, improved mood, and decreased feelings of loneliness and depression. The presence of a therapy dog can bring comfort and joy to those struggling with physical or emotional challenges. Our Tinkerbell is making a positive impact on residents’ overall health and quality of life.
