🧺 Folding with Purpose at Downsvale Nursing Home
This week, our residents enjoyed a calming clothes-folding activity — and it’s more beneficial than you might think.
🖐️ Hand-eye coordination: The act of folding fabric encourages precise movements, helping to maintain dexterity.
🧠 Cognitive engagement: Matching edges, smoothing fabric, and following a sequence stimulates memory and problem-solving skills.
💬 Social connection: Working together opens the door to conversation, laughter, and shared memories of home life.
💖 Sense of purpose: Many of our residents have spent years caring for their homes and families, so these familiar tasks bring comfort and pride.
At Downsvale Nursing Home , even the simplest activities are designed to keep minds active, hands busy, and hearts full.
