We had a brilliant time on Saturday raising money for @breastcancernow . Cream teas were devoured, Raffle tickets sold and tombolas were rifled through. All resulting in nearly £500 being raised! Thanks so much to all who came #charitytuesday #breastcancernow

In the summertime, we like to get outside as much as possible. A bit of lovely sunshine and a warm breeze really helps us enjoy our fish and chips! 😋 We also enjoy lots of other #activities. Read more bit.ly/3W0WlVT #care #dementia #Worthing

Yellow heat health alerts have been issued for most of England today bbc.in/3KX5ubD If you know an older person on their own, please check in with them to make sure they are drinking enough water and are feeling OK. It just takes a minute. #hotweather #oldercare

It's #carersweek this week and, as someone who's been working in #care for over 40 years, I really know what a tough job it can be! Join me in celebrating all the unsung carers out there and find out more about carers week here bit.ly/379ejKZ

We're lucky enough to have Little Elms Day Nursery a 5 minute walk away from us and we love to have the children visit. Now the weather is getting nicer, they can get back to using our garden too 😊

#DementiaActionWeek is 13-19th May 2024, it's Alzheimer's Society's annual campaign to bring people together to take action against #Dementia. Here's resources to show your support in your workplace: bit.ly/4cuH1am

Getting creative is something that we love to do at Heaton House. Not only is it great fun, it can help #Dementia sufferers to keep their fingers nimble and improve hand-eye coordination.

Now that the weather is (hopefully!) getting warmer, we'll be spending lots more time in our garden. Thanks to our summerhouse, we can protect ourselves from any April showers too!

Keeping a daily routine can help people with #Dementia know what to expect each day. This can reduce any stress or confusion they may have. There's more on this in one of our blog posts: bit.ly/49wZsbX

Residents have been taking part in lots of different activities in the run up to Spring. From #PoetryReading and #crafts to drum sessions. You can read all about it in our latest blog post: bit.ly/3JduISx

We recently had an #Easter #PoetryReading session which was enjoyed by all. It's amazing to see the effect group reading has on residents and the memories the poems spark.
