We had yet another birthday this month . So what would that mean!? Yes more cake , more singing and certainly more celebrating and happy faces . We know how to party here at The Downes .
We do take time out either in groups or individually. Tea trips , ice-cream days , luncheon afternoons and even shopping days . When residents are unable to join us in the diningroom or lounges we provide 1-1 activities . So important for our hearts and minds. Simple pleasures can mean so much . Conversations or just sitting with individuals make such a difference to their day . Nail care and hand massages provide the sense of touch and care .
Making jewellery helps with dexterity and colour coding . Who doesn't love a bracelet or 2 !!? X### the gentlemen like this activity too , amazing I know!!! 😌
Our lovely Charlotte made chocolate Easter nests with them this week using , cornflakes, chocolate and Easter eggs . See all those happy fulfilled faces . To say they were happy is an understatement .
More wordsearches , crosswords and colouring were on the agenda .

St Patrick's Day celebrations ! Making shamrocks listening and singing some songs. Mandy dancing , well atleast trying !!! Certainly made them laugh ! 😃 that's what it's all about . As you can see residents and Staff joining in , never a dull moment here for sure . Look at all these happy smiles. More Easter crafts. To expand our minds , we decided on a wordsearch that afternoon. You could ve heard a pin drop , it was so quiet, the concentration was immense . Everyone done an amazing job . Proud of them all . Painted rainbows and decorations adorned the main entrance and continuing on into the diningroom. Coffee and tea was definitely needed that day . Ha ha ha .
We had 2 birthdays to celebrate . Our lovely ladies were the main attraction that day . We enjoyed lots of yummy cake . Sang happy birthday , ànd carried on with the celebrations . The Staff were fab, wearing hats and tutus. Thankyou for all your support and help . ###

Well !! What a busy few weeks we ve had , morning exercises , ice cream making, pancake making and ofcourse eating , with lots of nutritious fruit . Alittle lemon , sugar and maple syrup . We have been crafting Chinese lanterns, Easter Bunnies and Easter chick's . Not to mention shamrock leaves and petals for St Patrick's day in March . Early we know !!!! But we have lots to do in such a small space of time . So lots of smiles and many giggles along the way .
If I asked the residents what has been your favourite activity lately ? I am sure it would be the homemade ice cream . 3 flavours this time
Lemon curd , raspberry and then a mix of raspberries and blueberries .
Our residents have been helping lay the lunch tables .
Colouring and some piano key board playing good for hand eye coordination and exercising those fingers .
A lovely residents family member taught us how to play uno , I lost ! Ofcourse . Everyone picked it up so quick . Throughout everything these were great team building tasks and activities . Helping and engaging with one another .
