Peace of mind

Moving into a care home can be daunting

Rest assured, our care team are here to make sure that making the move is as easy as possible for you and your loved one. If you still need reassurance, here are some stories from our residents, their families and our care team.

To celebrate St David’s Day we spent a very busy morning making Welsh Cakes/Cacennau Gri.

Whilst we mixed and rolled the cake mix, we enjoyed listening to some of our favourite Welsh artists; Tom Jones, Bryn Terfel and The 3 Welsh Tenors.

And yes, they were delicious.

Some of the people living with us here at Brunel recently enjoyed a fun day in the company of 10 year old Ophelia, the daughter of one of our team members.

They played board games, musical games, did some arts and crafts and even had time for a spot of gardening.

To celebrate National Pizza Day we made Pizzas for our evening meal from scratch. We made our pizza dough before lunch allowing it time to rest, we had talked about toppings with our residents ands whilst the pizza was resting we prepared our toppings and pizza sauce.

Twiddle muffs can be a great way to provide a simple sensory activity. The different textures allow restless hands to explore and seek stimulation and comfort.

We had so much fun making our own favourite pancakes last week. The residents enjoyed eating their delicious creations. They talked about it over lunch which tempted a few more residents to make one of their own for pudding.
