June’s Events

June brings lovely long evenings to look forward to and hopefully lots of sunshine in which to enjoy our outside space. This month we’ll be celebrating Father’s Day on Sunday 18th June with our Dad’s and also helping celebrate the birthdays of Claude on the 8^th, Mavis on the 18^th and Roy on the 24^th. Birthday wishes to you all and we look forward to spending time with you on your special day.

Activities and Events in June 2017

These are our core of activities which often involve 3^rd parties and happen on certain dates.  However there are a vast number of other contacts which centre around individuals and their needs which are not scheduled but take place at any time.  These include such things as  housework; perhaps wiping up some plates or helping to fold towels.  We also encourage and support residents in looking after our our little group of animals, perhaps by preparing their food.  There may be shopping trips or a short, local walk.  An individual need might also be to share a cup of tea and a chat or to listen to music which might evoke their younger days or happy (or sad) memories.  We may need to offer comfort, support and re-assurance at times when people are unhappy or just confused.  Help with reading letters or newspapers is also an important way of supporting our residents to keep contact with their families and the wider world.  Overall our aim is to promote actively the mental, emotional and physical wellbeing of our residents by providing a stimulating, supportive environment which respects their dignity, listens to their wishes and responds to their needs.
