Empowering residents through everyday activities.
This week, we embarked on an exciting adventure to Chepstow Garden Centre, just across the border of Wales. J, E, and E were eager to explore the centre, each armed with a bit of spending money to indulge in a special treat. As they wandered through the lush plants, beautiful home décor, and vibrant clothing racks, their eyes landed on a treasure trove of colourful tops at the Edinburgh Woollen Mill section. The trio was captivated by the array of patterns and hues, and soon decided to treat themselves to a new outfit each.
For our residents, the simple act of browsing and purchasing is a rare delight, one that’s not often part of their daily routine within a care setting. This outing was a powerful reminder that even small pleasures can bring immense joy and a sense of independence.
Here at Nodens Manor Care Home, we’re constantly seeking innovative ways to incorporate everyday activities into our daily routine. This outing was a resounding success, and we’re already looking forward to planning more exciting excursions that promote independence and bring happiness to our residents. The memory of their big smiles will linger long after the bill is paid!
