This week residents have been doing Autumnal activities: Color therapy, word searches, solving cryptic clues on autumn objects, autumn scavenger hunt – looking for leaves, feathers, spiders etc…

Some of the ladies enjoyed a nice afternoon out for lunch in Frenchie’s restaurant, which we forgot to get some photos as they were too busy eating and chatting, while the gents had an afternoon at the caravan – we stopped on the way and got a chippy and then they relaxed having a beer.

Other activities within the home were visits from:

Marie celebrated her Birthday with everyone and enjoyed receiving her gift and having lots of treats to share with everyone.

Sound Healing Spa with Tessa – everyone really relaxed and listened to Tessa’s demonstrations and then they had the chance to try the different instruments themselves.

Gerard Dornan from Country Harmony who played a few songs and everyone sang and danced along for the afternoon, this session was arranged by Newry, Mourne and Down Council.
