As usual, our Christmas preparations at Brandon Park were full of craft and cooking and our activities room was busy! Residents handmade decorations for the tree, which was also part of the public vote on social media for the company’s Stow in the Snow competition. The marzipan decorations went down particularly well, and residents also loved creating the snowflakes for our own special Winter Wonderland. Our autumnal baking included orange cake, spicy pumpkin muffins and cranberry muffins, so no one went hungry!
The Comforting Magic of Animals in Dementia Care
At Stow Healthcare, we see every day how meaningful connection, familiar routines and moments of comfort can make a real difference to those living with dementia. One beautiful example of this is the special bond many of our residents share with animals. Across our homes, animals play a much-loved role in daily life.
