We’ve enjoyed some lovely pampering and flower arranging sessions recently at Meyer House Care Home and have also been delighted to receive some technology donations too, which have been a great asset;<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pampering<\/h4>\n

Our beauty parlour<\/strong> was in full swing over the weekend when our lovely Charlotte pampered some of our ladies with manicures and nail painting, which was such a relaxing treat. Thank you Charlotte, our ladies loved it!<\/em><\/p>\n

Portal donation<\/h4>\n

We have been donated a Facebook Video Portal<\/strong> which will allow all our families, friends and residents to keep in contact at this difficult time.<\/p>\n

A huge ‘thank you<\/strong>‘ to Don Shenker, Senior Project Manager at the Health Innovation Network in South London<\/strong> for such a generous gift to us, we really appreciate it. We wrote a letter of thanks to Don and he replied;<\/p>\n

“It was a pleasure Gill, I\u2019m so glad it\u2019s being put to good use. Thank you so much for the letter, much appreciated. Best wishes, Don.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Alexa donation<\/h4>\n

We have also received an Alexa speaker<\/strong> for use in our Home<\/strong> which our residents and staff are having fun with!<\/p>\n

The speaker was gifted by Elizabeth Cody from the Utley Foundation<\/strong> \u2013 many thanks to her for thinking of us.<\/p>\n

We have set it all up and our residents are enjoying their new ‘friend’!<\/p>\n

We are benefitting from it in so many ways;<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • We have added a playlist of all our residents’ favourite songs, from the 50s up to modern music.<\/li>\n
  • Our Activity Co-ordinators are planning a session with gentle exercise to music.<\/li>\n
  • Our residents enjoy a good quiz, so we have held some song quizzes which we’ve all enjoyed.<\/li>\n
  • Some of our residents love a good bit of comedy – Bill asks Alexa to tell him jokes!!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    The Alexa speaker has helped us to keep our residents motivated and also supports communication between them and our staff at Meyer House.<\/p>\n

    Friendships<\/h4>\n

    Two of our lady residents have struck up a friendship<\/strong> and really enjoy their time together. Ena has been reading the Daily Sparkle paper out loud to Pauline, who really enjoys listening to her friend.<\/p>\n

    We’ve also held a lovely ‘ladies afternoon tea<\/strong>‘, where our ladies got together for a cuppa, chat and some good old fashioned reading!<\/p>\n

    Flower arranging<\/h4>\n

    We love a spot of flower arranging at Meyer House<\/strong> and we held a session recently, when our ladies and gents did a wonderful job arranging a selection of pink, white, yellow and orange blooms into vases. They look so cheerful around our Home<\/strong>. Well done to all involved!<\/p>\n

    And our lovely Maggie<\/strong> is a real multi-tasker, which she proved recently when she did some flower arranging while face-timing her daughter Kate! Well done Maggie, enjoy your fresh flowers!<\/em><\/p>\n

    Family catch up<\/h4>\n

    Our husband and wife couple Norman and Lilian<\/strong> were delighted to have a ‘socially distant’ visit<\/strong> from their son-in-law Nick and his wife. It’s so lovely to see our families together, albeit from afar – just seeing a face in person makes all the difference.<\/p>\n
