| Activities Are So Important |

The home’s dedicated activities leader Lucy Cassidy is so passionate about enriching her residents’ lives that she was shortlisted for the South West regional finals of the Great British Care Awards 2018 in the Care Home Activity Organiser category. The award celebrates individuals who provide activities which reflect their exceptional skills and creativity. Highlights in her nomination show her determination to make special wishes come true for every one of her residents. This happened for the home’s daredevil Winnie Davies, who receives residential care. Winnie dreamt of ice skating for the first time, so for her 102nd birthday Lucy made it happen. By pushing Winnie in her wheelchair smoothly along the ice, she brought absolute joy to the great, great grandmother. Ivydene will soon have a Namaste room for our dementia residents to enjoy, providing them total sensory stimulation and relaxation. The room will include a multi-sensory system which can play soothing music, project lights and images, has bubbles and fibre optic lights. This special piece of equipment will be mobile so that if a resident is receiving nursing or palliative care, it can be used in their bedrooms. |
