Dennis and Brian enjoyed a trip to the Museum of Science and Industry today. They took the train from Alderley Edge to Manchester. Both Dennis and Brian, before their dementia diagnosis travelled via trains most days. Going to the Museum of Science and Industry was also a trip down memory lane for both gents. They both had fun as did the staff!

February brought with it Valentines and this year we decided to have a weeks worth of Valentines related activities.

White Rose Lodge was delighted to welcome Jo from the Co-op Funeral Care Company. Jo brought with her a large memory box filled with items of interest for the residents of historical relevance in the hopes of sparking reminiscence. Jo invited residents to delve into the box to see if anything caught their eye. Many memories were shared, smiles and positive emotional reactions were experienced in this activity.

This week we have been joined with 4 members of the hospice at home staff, they have been working along the staff at Cavendish Court to experience life in a care home.

The staff have joined in with all elements of care home life, including a trip to the museum with some residents. This has created strong links with our local hospice, encouraging staff now wanting to take part in placement / experience at the Hospice.

Isabella celebrated her 103rd birthday this week at Cavendish Court with her family and staff. We enjoyed cake, music and reminiscing.
