World Baking Day
Our residents at The Old Downs Residential Care Home joined in to celebrate World Baking Day on 17 May by making some Viennese Whirls from scratch.
Some of our ladies helped to mix ingredients and used a piping bag to make the biscuits.
Later in the afternoon we enjoyed them with a cup of tea. They looked very impressive and tasted wonderful!
Music Therapy
We have introduced a new activity in our Home – Music Therapy – and what a success it has been!
This activity allows everyone to join in and has made our residents reconnect with the music they once loved so much.
We’ve had residents get up and dance, or simply close their eyes and take it all in, as they sit with their headphones on. The power of music has such a positive impact on our residents’ lives and our Home.
Green fingers
Over the last month we have been growing tomato plants and the results are thrilling!
Last week some of our residents helped to replant them. We are looking forward to having a feast with our tasty toms!
