🐍 A Ssssuper Day at Downsvale! 🦎
This week our residents had some very unusual (and very scaly!) visitors thanks to a local reptile show-and-tell. From snakes to lizards, there were plenty of brave hands, curious smiles, and lots of laughter.
But beyond the fun, activities like this offer real benefits:
✨ Sensory stimulation – the feel of different textures sparks curiosity and keeps the senses engaged.
🧠 Cognitive enrichment – learning new facts and asking questions supports memory and mental agility.
💬 Social interaction – sharing the experience encourages conversation, connection, and joy.
💖 Confidence building – trying something new helps residents feel proud and accomplished.
At Downsvale Nursing Home, every day is about creating moments that surprise, delight, and bring meaning. And this one was truly unforgettable!
