Lyndhurst Care

We celebrated the day with a discussion session and coffee morning where everyone present had the opportunity to share past experiences, memories and achievements.

Fascinating memories and interesting stories were shared in a friendly group, supported by our activity co-ordinator and dignity champion.

The session was open to all our residents, families and staff. Everyone was afforded the opportunity to bring personal photographs with them. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed and benefited from the time together; sharing how experiences; special days and those special to them shaped or changed their lives; and those attending were able to learn more about each other from the session.

After the session, everyone agreed that "we all have memories".

Other comments were "I would like to go to El Greco's Cafe for a coffee if felt lonely or sad" Or: "You could get a lovely meal for only 9 pence!"

We feel that the session was a success; the residents felt respected and valued as individuals and it also gave a greater insight to staff in how a persons social history is not only relevant, but important when considering a plan of care.
