By focusing on our residents likes and dislikes, we can plan enjoyable and stimulating activities. For example; residents who used to enjoy dancing are taken to entertaining dance shows, or a former chef enjoys a trip to a restaurant. We ensure that each activity is designed to actively engage our residents – to ensure an active involvement in a favourite pastime.
Additionally, at Holly Lodge, we work with our residents to create a life story, by recording key aspects of the past. This information greatly benefits people living with dementia by enabling our caring staff to understand our residents personality, feelings, loved ones, experiences and future aspirations.
