After the fun of last year’s celebrations, residents enjoyed getting into the Irish spirit to celebrate St Patrick’s Day. Everyone was busy cutting and sticking shamrocks and pots of gold to decorate the dining room for a St Patrick’s day lunch. Residents wore their best green outfits and homemade masks to lunch and were joined by staff who were decked out in their best Irish fancy dress. The Kitchen cooked up a fabulous themed dinner including mince and tatties washed down with a drop of Guinness. Our carer Jackie was representing the Irish contingent and fully embraced the celebrations.
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.
