Over the last couple of weeks lots of our residents have taken part in an autumn-themed colouring competition here at Glebe House Residential Care Home 🍁🍄🍂

Coloring provides significant benefits for older people by improving mental, physical, and social wellbeing. Some of the benefits include...
🖍 Relieves stress
🖍 Promotes relaxation
🖍 Helps maintain fine motor skills and dexterity
🖍 Sharpens focus and concentration
🖍 Promotes healthy competition and pride

We had some wonderfully creative entries and our 3 winners are Beryl, Ingrid, and Jackie. Well done, ladies!! 🏅🏆🏅

We hope you've enjoyed seeing some of the autumnal activities we planned for our residents. Keep an eye 👀 on our social media pages to check out what we do next...

"Double, double toil and trouble. Fire burn and caldron bubble!"

Over the last few weeks our residents, with the help of activities coordinator Sharon, have had lots of fun making and painting our scarecrow witch! 🧙‍♀️🧹

We used a crafting technique called paper mache, using paper strips and glue, to create the witch's head. Once completely dry, the finished piece was painted and decorated and added to the scarecrow body.

Doesn't she look spooktacular!?

💜 Nursery children are bringing smiles and cheer to our residents living with dementia! 💜

Three and four-year-olds from Sandling’s Playgroup in Woodbridge are regular visitors to Glebe House Residential Care Home.

The pre-school children join our residents to take part in simple activities such as...
Gardening 🌱
Colouring 🖍
Singing 🎵
Dancing 💃

The children with their smiles and laughter remind our residents of their own childhoods and happy times spent with their children and grandchildren.

Resident Jackie, aged 81, says: “It brings a smile to my face to spend time with the little ones, they are so full of energy, and their visits make me so happy.”

For one resident, the visits bring back strong memories of her own childhood. “It’s a joy seeing the children play, I just love them,” says Ingrid, aged 87.

“Spending time with the little ones brings me right back to when I was a girl, playing with my friends and climbing trees.”

Grandmother Mary, aged 89, says: “It reminds me of when my grandchildren were little. Its lovely to have the children come into our home, it makes my day seeing how much fun they are having.”

Many of the residents have formed bonds 🥰 with the children since the project started in July. All of the residents who take part in the project are living with dementia.

Our manager Dawn adds: “Residents love taking part, there’s always a buzz in the home when the children visit.

“Everyone lights up and are more engaged. We see a significant boost in our residents’ mood following the visits, with residents saying they feel happier and more energised.

“For individuals living with dementia, sparking memories of their childhood or their time as a parent can be an important link to their past, evoking emotions and moments that may otherwise seem lost.

“The visits are usually once a fortnight and we hope they will continue to be a big part of life at Glebe House.”

📍 Glebe House, located on Rectory Road in Hollesley, is a 20-bed care home that offers residential, respite and specialist dementia care
