Intellectual experiences
Many residents enjoy the challenge of stretching their minds with creative writing, word games, quizzes, story writing, jigsaw puzzles, crosswords, current affairs, poetry or reading.
Reminiscence is a pastime enjoyed by many as it rekindles memories and secures a feeling of self-assurance. Staff co-ordinate residents and family meetings to gain invaluable information for lifestyle planning..
