Yesterday was 'Jour de Beautรฉ' with a visit from the hairdresser, as well as manicures and hand massages from me. Amongst all the colours of varnish, all the ladies chose the femme-fatale red hue! If you see that residents have one unpainted finger, this is a safety measure to enable medical care in case of an emergency. ๐Ÿ’…๐Ÿ’†โ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’‡โ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’‡โ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ’ˆ

๐Ÿ’ฎ๐Ÿ’ฎ๐Ÿ’ฎ On Remembrance Sunday, our veteran residents attended the service in Ashton Gardens and the rest spent the morning watching the Remembrance service, singing the hymns and making some thematic decorations, as well as reminiscing about wartime and times in the armed forces ๐Ÿ’ฎ๐Ÿ’ฎ๐Ÿ’ฎ

We also spent some sensory time enjoying fidget blankets ๐Ÿซณ๐Ÿป๐ŸŽ€๐Ÿซด๐Ÿป๐Ÿ–ฒ๐Ÿซณ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ“ฟ๐Ÿซด๐Ÿป.

In the afternoon we played vinyl records, danced and reminisced about live music ๐Ÿฅ๐ŸŽ™๐ŸŽธ๐Ÿช•- one of our residents saw the Beatles in their early days at the Cavern! (No photos as my phone battery died ๐Ÿซ .)

On November 8th we spent some time exploring the sensory world with different textures, sounds, colours and smells ๐Ÿฆป๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘ƒ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿค๐Ÿป. It was groovy and psychedelic! ๐Ÿงฟ๐Ÿชท๐Ÿคฉ

We also reminisced in the native language of our international resident, who enjoyed sharing details of their childhood near the Mediterranean ๐Ÿ’ญโ›ต๏ธ.

On November 5th, to celebrate Guy Fawkes night and start preparing for Remembrance, we reminisced about Guy Fawkes and bonfire night ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŽ†๐ŸŽ‡๐Ÿงจ, and about wartime and military life.

We also did some singalong/dancing to 1940s music ๐ŸŽผ, read the '5th of November' poem, and made a crazy fireworks-themed garland โœจ๏ธ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ“ฟ๐ŸŽ—๐Ÿชข๐ŸŽŠโšก๏ธ๐Ÿ”†.

On October 30th we enjoyed a game of skittles (the ladies won against the gentlemen! ๐Ÿ’ช) and some doll therapy. Realistic dolls can provide many benefits such as emotional comfort and facilitating reminiscence about special times in one's life โ˜บ๏ธ๐Ÿฉท

On October 29th we had some sensory time with autumn leaves, pinecones and dried plants ๐Ÿ; we made some leaf rubbing drawings; we did chair exercises and dancing with autumn-coloured scarves ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿผ; we reminisced about autumn and harvests whilst watching a curated streaming playlist; we sang (Autumn Leaves by Nat King Cole ๐ŸŽ™ and more); and we made Halloween masks ๐Ÿฆ‰๐Ÿ‘ป.

On October 27th we spent some time reminiscing and made some still-life paintings ๐ŸŽจ๐Ÿ–ผ. We also took a trip out to the Square to enjoy some shopping, a street concert and the autumn sunshine. We collected some autumn ๐Ÿ‚ materials on our way.

Hello and apologies for the radio silence of late! I am the new activities coordinator, Anna. I started work at the end of October and am now linked to our social media. I will catch you all up on our recent activities!

I have worked as an activities coordinator specialized in dementia since 2022 and have received extensive training. I am also trained as an archivist and have worked in a variety of roles at the intersection of the heritage, arts, wellbeing, outreach and education sectors for over 20 years, in 4 countries. Aside from working at Knights, I am a visual artist (collage, beading, textiles, photography) and filmmaker.

๐Ÿ‚๐ŸŽ‰ What a day weโ€™ve had here at The Knights! ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ‚

We kicked off the day with a lively game of 1960s celebrity picture bingo โ€“ and our lucky winner, Ronnie, walked away smiling with a giant bag of liquorice allsorts ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ‘.

This afternoon, we swapped bingo cards for bratwurst as we celebrated Oktoberfest in true German style ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿป. With traditional bierhall music, delicious German treats, and (of course) a cheeky beer or two, the room was filled with laughter and joy. The photo props were a huge hit โ€“ our residents really got into the spirit of things and gave us plenty of giggles. ๐Ÿ“ธโœจ

Weโ€™re so grateful for days like this โ€“ full of fun, friendship, and plenty of smiles. ๐Ÿ’™
