Beyond my capabilities!
I would give up after about 5 minutes. But then I am never surprised when our residents demonstrate skills and abilities that far outstrip my own. This is living in the moment at the Cottage today.

Feeling needed
Feeling needed satisfies one of our deepest needs, and this goes for residents and staff alike. This is when the cared-for turns into the carer. And a jolly good thing it is.
The quiet pleasures…
…of physical contact and personal attention. No words required…
Start the day as you mean it
A morning spent socialising, reading papers, playing word games, puzzles or cards sets everyone in a good mood for the rest of the day and he afternoon activities.
Taking your inspiration from your neighbour
Ah that’s how you do it! today at the Lodge
