A lovely afternoon at The Old Vicarage was spent enjoying a little friendly brain exercise, with residents gathering together to solve crossword puzzles over a comforting cup of tea.
With clues to work through and words to discover, everyone had the opportunity to share ideas, offer suggestions and help each other find the answers. Some clues were solved quickly, while others brought a little extra thinking and plenty of conversation along the way
Simple activities like crosswords are a wonderful part of everyday life in a care home. They provide gentle mental stimulation, helping to encourage word recall, concentration and memory while giving residents an enjoyable opportunity to spend time together.
