I can’t believe how much fun they’ve been having at The Manor of late! Day of the Dead and Halloween celebrations – don’t be alarmed by the scissors in the head – a rather too realistic fancy dress prop! Pumpkins carving, cake baking and decorating, and Trick or Treating! And plenty of arts and crafts – painting dry leaves and driftwood for Autumn hanging baskets. Wonderful!

With no Trick or Treaters this year, the staff and residents at The Lilacs in Exeter had to make their own fun! Pumpkin carving, apple bobbing, cake decorating, fancy dress, and even a bit of dancing! Sounds like a great evening!!

Residents at Chollacott House in Tavistock were treated to an indoor fireworks night! In the cosy lounge, tucked up under blankets they enjoyed hotdogs and pumpkin soup. The highlight of the evening was the glowsticks – such fun!!

Stonehaven are really proud to be sponsoring the 2021 Exeter Dementia Action Alliance Calendar. All the artwork is created by award winning Cartoonist Tony Husband, a friend of Stonehaven. The calendar is a great way to share the work of the EDAA across the city, raise local awareness about dementia through 2021 and enable them to continue their amazing work on a sustainable basis. Gina Awad, founder of the alliance popped into Dove Tree House last week to deliver some of the calendars hot off the press – they look fantastic!
Residents enjoyed a trip down memory lane for the VJ (Victory over Japan) Day Celebrations on the 15th August. They watched a video and played music from 1945. They also enjoyed a truth session, answering questions about how it may have affected them as children or young adults. A few of the residents admitted to having American boyfriends and other shared such funny stories, they all in hoots of laughter! A lovely tea was served and the dining room beautifully decorated for the occasion.

Lock down and lack of visitors has meant looking at alternative sources of entertainment. The residents and staff at Dove Tree House have been having loads of fun with some good old traditional toys and games. Table Football the absolute favourite – although it’s all getting a bit competitive!
