🌿 Educational Tip for a Rest Home
“Use everyday moments as gentle learning opportunities.”

Residents don’t need formal lessons to keep their minds active. Small, familiar activities can become meaningful cognitive stimulation when framed with curiosity. For example:

🧠 Try This
During morning tea, invite residents to share a memory connected to the food or drink.

“Did anyone grow up with a special biscuit recipe?”

“Who remembers when tea was rationed?”

“What was your favourite treat as a child?”

Why it works
Encourages reminiscence, which supports identity and emotional wellbeing

Strengthens social connection

Stimulates memory without pressure

Gives residents a sense of contribution and pride

Today we had karaoke and it sparked many memories for our residents of going to dances, past relationships and their youth.

Today we tried something different. We took photos of ourselves and turned them into a colouring page.
