Starting the week with the usual bits, maybe some baking or a read of a few chapters. There’s a lot of comfort in those familiar habits that make the house feel like home.

There are so many skills needed to be a Care Assistant, some you learn through training and some that come from who you are.

At the heart of it, it’s about loving what you do, caring about the people you support and having the heart and skill to make someone’s day feel full of purpose, every single day.

We've been keeping busy! Tossing a ball together or getting a freshly painted set of nails creates an environment where everyone can feel naturally included and comfortable in themselves.

Thank you ! Everyone got up who wanted to, there was lots of smiles and laughter, and it was good to see the family members so responsive. It was a good time for everyone! 🎶

Music holds a special power, especially for individuals on a Dementia journey, as it can stir memories and emotions, even those thought to be long lost. It is simply a way to connect people through who they are and can help them continue to feel like themselves.

The end of January always feels like that final push before spring, doesn't it?💐We’re keeping things nice and steady here, plenty of hot tea, a few good books, and making sure everyone is feeling at ease. There’s a lot of reassurance in just sticking to our usual routines while the weather does its thing outside.

We've said goodbye to the wonderful Jacqui! 🥲

Last Friday was Jacqui’s final day before heading into retirement, and while we’re so happy for her, she leaves big shoes to fill. She’s been with us for just under 5 years!

Jacqui had a way of making sure everyone felt included, no matter how tough the day was. You can see the impact she’s had by looking after the Christmas donations for the Fair Frome Food Bank (read more on our website). “It’s something that’s very close to my heart,” Jacqui said. “I’ve seen how much of a difference food banks make and how hard the volunteer’s work. With my retirement coming up in January, it felt important to make sure we did this collection again this year.”

We’re going to miss Jacqui's energy in the building and the comfort she brought to the job. Jacqui, thanks for everything!

Spring is already here! as we had a visit from Twinnies Petting Farm , and seeing our family members hold these spring lambs was a beautiful reminder of how much these moments of connection matter.

For those on a Dementia journey, holding a lamb isn't just a "cute" activity, it’s an intentional way to find a sense of purpose. The weight and warmth of the animals help everyone feel grounded and included in the moment.

Between the visiting lambs and our own resident guinea pigs, these animals are a huge part of how we encourage purposeful engagement here. 🐑🐹

Recently at Frome Nursing Home, Janet found a sense of purpose gathering food for the guinea pigs, while Cilla felt truly included celebrating her birthday with the team. For those on a Dementia journey, finding comfort in a sentimental object, like Wendy with her teddy, helps the present moment feel more grounded. Every day is about these intentional moments of connection, from George’s focus on draughts to Pauline enjoying a familiar meal. 🏡

Finding the wind 🪁There is a steady focus in the room when we work with our hands. Today, constructing kites provided a meaningful way to maintain dexterity and share a sense of purpose.

These moments are intentional, using craft as a tool for connection and ensuring every family member feels included in the rhythm of the day. It’s about the comfort found in a familiar task and the satisfaction of a job well done.

Now, we just wait for the right breeze.
