Recently Springhill Care Home in Accrington enjoyed a nature themed art session as part of the #30dayswild project and many of their residents thoroughly enjoy taking time together to be creative.
In this session a member of the Lifestyle team shared a Flower Fairies book which was full of beautiful illustrations and poetry.
Everyone agreed the session was very relaxing and enjoyable.
Birch Green Care Home’s residents got up-close-and-personal with a range of animals during a visit recently by Home Safari.
The organisation offers animal-assisted therapy sessions and visited Birch Green in Skelmersdale with creatures including Jethro the Skunk, who was as popular as always, and Ziggy the Gecko.
Kay, one of our staff members, has always wanted a skunk and had the honour of taking him to visit all our ladies and gentlemen.
Betty, the Bearded Dragon, was also very popular, and Christine, one of our residents, said his skin felt ‘really funny’ as she gave him a stroke.
The oldest animal, 17-year-old Fred the Tortoise, was quite happy walking around the lounge.
Thanks to everyone for visiting, we can’t wait to see you again soon.

Springhill Care Home in Accrington was visited by a range of creatures recently.
The home played host to a visit by the Zoolabs organisation, which brought along animals including a snail, frog, tortoise, rats, a tarantula and snake.
It was a thoroughly interesting afternoon and proved very popular, with residents given the chance to look at and handle the different creatures. One told us: “I love it when we get to come along and we learn something new as well.”
We’re all looking forward to Zoolab’s next visit in the Autumn.
Riversway Nursing Home's residents got to experience their own trip to ‘space’ recently with a themed activity.
The space evening featured sounds and music, along with colourful lights, and a range of games – plus space food including a vanilla ice cream sandwich.
Everyone had so much fun taking part and they really enjoyed the evening get together.
Recently a group of residents at Birch Green Care Home in Skelmersdale spent time getting creative.
Hosting the activity was the care home’s Forget Me Not Café, where the group was keen to show off their artistic interpretations of the things they hold dear in life.
Plenty of craft materials were made available for the occasion, and residents were painting, drawing, creating collages and modelling.
Keep checking the website and social media to see their finished creations.
