The Suffolk Care Home Olympics was popular with residents at Melford Court last year and we are excited to be a part of them again this year. A member of the Suffolk Care Home Olympics Team visits the home each week to take part in a different activity including fishing, curling and boccia. This is a great way to encourage residents to keep active and get involved in sport. The fishing activity was particularly popular with younger visitors who also joined in with our residents. We hope we can build on the home’s success last year and gain a high ranking spot on the leaderboard.

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.
