Let the wind blow the washing!

A new project for all units at Birchy Hill, this was to create stimulating scenes of drying the washing on a sunny windy day.

With the help of our ‘own’ artist Romeo, who created lovely background paintings, and some DIY skills from Gordon, Head of Maintenance, we then only needed to put up some clothes with dolly pegs and leave a basket full of ‘washing’ to get the Residents interested.

We used the principle that “less is more” and displayed a few familiar items that can help your loved one to engage with an activity they remember.

What a great idea – Well done Birchy Hill

The ladies loved Nigel, and the gentlemen loved his music!

Nigel Revill’s voice was accompanied by his guitar tunes and made the Residents getting up from their seats to dance together in a big circle.

It was an hilarious atmosphere putting everybody in an excellent mood.

Thank you Nigel – We will see you back soon!

Once a month, the Birchy Hill’s Residents are joining a Social Cub in New Milton-Ashley.

This time they were not only having their cup of tea, they were not only listening to “Caryn Morant’s” music, no but they were dancing (as you can see in the photographs).

A very happy afternoon full of fun and laughter for the whole group.

The Resident’s at Birchy Hill were nicely entertained with an afternoon Karaoke singing session.

Some singers even remembered the lyrics by heart and did not have to look at the screen.

Everybody enjoyed the entertainment thoroughly.
