What We've Been Up To
-
RESIDENTS CARE FOR TWO FEATHERED FRIENDS
Our residents and team members successfully hatched a goose and a duck egg and cared for their two new feathered friends. The eggs were gifted to our home by Leanne Clarke, owner of The Quack Shack in Horsford, a rescue and rehabilitation sanctuary for ‘feathered friends’. Leanne is the daughter-in-law of resident Jill Clarke and a regular visitor to our home. Resident Ann, 87, grew up with animals and formed a special bond with gosling Avii. “Being involved with the birds has made me very happy,” she said. “I love to cuddle Avii, who always falls asleep on my shoulder."

JOHN SUPPORTED TO CONTINUE WITH LIFELONG FILM PASSION
Film-enthusiast John Zammit, 86, is continuing his passion for movies thanks to our team. We have organised regular visits from the Norwich Movie Makers and the sessions are also bringing John closer to his fellow residents. “Ever since I was young, I was interested in cine photography,” said John. “I made my own documentary some time ago about a Freemasons’ meeting place at an old school and the 100-year history of that school. I’d love to show this to the residents and the film club at some point.”
-
NAMASTE CARE SESSIONS HELPING FAMILIES TO STAY CONNECTED
Our Namaste Care sessions having been helping residents with dementia reconnect with loved ones through calming sensory activities. The sessions use sensory-based activities designed to bring peace, stimulation and emotional connection, particularly for those living with dementia. One resident, John, has shown noticeable signs of relaxation and emotional comfort during the sessions – a response that has only deepened since his wife began joining him.
