Dorothy has enjoyed a range of activities throughout the month but there was much joy when reminiscing of babies and children.  Dorothy was took great pride in nursing her baby dolls to sleep however was struggling to hold the babies at times and was supported  with using the Silver cross pram to nurse her babies, which led to much reminiscing.

Dorothy enjoyed bouncing the therapy doll in the pram, tucking the baby in to sleep and singing lullaby’s to the baby. 
 

As part of our varied life enrichment and resident centred activities we have been supporting resident, Phyllis and the planning of a bike ride.  Phyllis’s son, Trevor made a special visit to support with the planning of the route and risk assessments bringing delight to Phyllis.  Phyllis was bursting with pride and so happy to know Trevor was helping this wish become a reality. We are very excited for our bike ride on a good day when the weather is kind to us.

Residents across our services had a fantastic time enjoying the virtual screening of Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em. Frank Spencer’s comical misadventures had everyone laughing and it was wonderful to see so many happy faces.
