💅 Nail Refresh Day at The Firs 💅

Today some of our lovely ladies enjoyed a nail refresh, and as always, it was about so much more than having their nails done. The one-to-one time gave everyone a chance to chat, relax, and enjoy a little pampering. There were plenty of smiles, laughter, and beautiful nails to admire at the end of the session!

It’s wonderful to see how much these moments of personal attention mean to our residents. 💖

🎉🔢 Eyes Down for Bingo! 🔢🎉

Our residents absolutely love our weekly bingo sessions here at The Firs! 😊

There’s always plenty of excitement, laughter, and friendly competition as everyone keeps a close eye on their cards, hoping to be the next lucky winner.

And of course, no bingo session would be complete without some fantastic prizes for our winners! 🏆🎁

Bingo is a wonderful way for residents to socialise, have fun, and keep their minds active while enjoying time together with friends.

Well done to all of this week’s winners, and good luck for next week’s game! 🍀

🐦🌼 Residents’ Ideas Brought to Life! 🌼🐦

Following our recent monthly Residents’ Meeting, one of our residents suggested adding a bird bath to our garden.

We’re delighted to share that we now have two bird baths positioned next to our lovely bird tables! 🐦💙

Our residents love watching the birds visit the garden, whether they’re relaxing indoors on rainy days or enjoying the sunshine outside. The new bird baths will help attract even more feathered visitors for everyone to enjoy.

We always value the ideas and suggestions shared by our residents, and it’s wonderful to see these ideas become a reality.

We can’t wait to see which birds stop by for a splash! 🐦🌿☀️

🎯 Bullseye Fun at The Firs! 🎯

This week, our residents enjoyed a fun and friendly game of darts with a twist – using Velcro balls instead of traditional darts! 😊

There was plenty of laughter, friendly competition, and impressive aiming skills on display as everyone took turns trying to hit the highest scores.

Activities like these are a great way to encourage movement, coordination, concentration, and social interaction while having lots of fun together.

🗣️ Monthly Residents’ Meeting Update

Today we held our monthly Residents’ Meeting, where we discussed all things Summer Fayre! ☀️🎪

Our residents shared some fantastic ideas and feedback. One of the key suggestions was to have a live singer visit the home on a monthly basis, and we’re pleased to say we’re now making arrangements to bring this to life. 🎤🎶

Residents also suggested adding a bird bath to our garden to help attract more wildlife and create an even more enjoyable outdoor space for everyone to enjoy. 🐦🌼

We also kept everyone updated on the ongoing work taking place around the home and answered any questions residents had.

The minutes from today’s meeting are available to read on our notice board for anyone who would like more information.

📖💜 A Morning of Memories at The Firs 💜📖

This morning, our residents enjoyed a lovely, relaxed time looking through reminiscence books, sharing stories, chatting together, and reflecting on treasured memories from years gone by.

Looking at familiar photographs and discussing past experiences sparked many wonderful conversations, smiles, and moments of connection.

Reminiscence activities can be especially beneficial for people living with dementia, helping to stimulate memories, encourage communication, and promote a sense of wellbeing and identity. It was heartwarming to see everyone so engaged and enjoying each other’s company.
