AT OUR CARE HOME FOR CONFUSED ELDERLY |
Our resident's quality of life
is of utmost importance to us. For their enjoyment,
each house has televisions and music players in the living
and dining rooms. Board games, books and talking books
for the blind are provided and residents may also participate
in weekly craft sessions.
As an EMI care home
for very dependent elderly residents, we take it upon ourselves
to organise events and activities to help stimulate those living
at Edendale. Accompanied walks in the gardens are frequently
arranged, as are visits to shops, cafes, the library, church
and local fetes. Outings to the White Rock and De La Warr theatres
also take place regularly, not forgetting the annual afternoon
of tea and cakes at Buckhurst Park stately home.
A pianist and singer visits Edendale
twice weekly when residents may appreciate the music,
request favourites and dance along. Weekly exercise and
stretch sessions are also held in each house for those
who wish to participate and although residents are free
to pass their time as they wish, every encouragement is
made for them to use the communal living areas, thereby
avoiding isolation.
Edendale's residents are visited fortnightly by 'Motivate',
an organization of professional therapists. These therapists
are trained to work in care homes for confused elderly
residents and they specialise in delivering activity
sessions aimed at stimulating the minds and bodies of
the elderly and mentally ill.
Finally, every effort is made
to make Christmas a pleasant time for our residents.
A 'Christmas Carols' evening is held, during which punch
and snacks are served and, in the week before Christmas,
staff and residents celebrate with a pre-Christmas pub
lunch. Birthdays, Easter and New Year are also celebrated
as appropriate. |
