On Friday 3 July our residents at The Old Downs Residential Care Home joined in for a ‘Scent for pleasure’ activity.
We used different herbs and spices to stimulate the senses, including curry powder, ginger, rosemary and nutmeg. Our ladies and gents enjoyed guessing the different smells, which they said took them back to when they used to prepare home-cooked meals for their families.
It was a simple activity, but one which we all really enjoyed and it was great to hear lots of conversations being sparked and memories shared.
