You're never fully dressed without great hair!

Our Residents have certainly missed this!

We celebrated Scrabble Day last Tuesday. Alfred Mosher Butts, inventor of Scrabble was born on 13th April, so what better excuse to remember him and this iconic board game than to hold a Scrabble competition. The residents really enjoyed playing Scrabble while they were having a cup of tea. 

We had a beautiful day today reminiscing about the past and all the things we did growing up using products they recognise and books with pictures from big events from the past, this was a benefit for everyone involved. It was lovely to see all conversations flowing about childhood memories. 

Easter bonnet making at Cavendish Court. We had such fun and laughter amongst the residents. 

We had great fun with our blown up bunny ears and hoops over the Easter period. 

We had a great time searching for the Easter Eggs we all shared and everyone enjoyed a chocolate egg. 

A lovely morning of puzzles, music and fun for residents and staff at Hope Green. We'll definitely be doing this activity together again soon as it was a great success. 

Our residents enjoyed a game of scrabble. We have some very good players, the highest score on our last game was 144. We also enjoy arts and crafts, displaying our works along the corridors. Presently we are doing a display called 'Heidi', we are reading this book together weekly in the lounge. 

Dominoes is a suitable game the elderly and adults with learning disabilities can play and thoroughly enjoy. Dominoes can also be used for simple matching and sorting activities for people with dementia and Alzheimer’s and is a great way to boost ones working memory. It can also provide smooth tactile input and are visually stimulating. 

Gwen won the most games on Monday, she really enjoyed playing. Dorothy won today for the most won games. All winners are recorded and at the end of the month prizes are given out, all residents love this.
