Here at Rotherwood Care Home in Rotherham our residents had the most wonderful VE day preparations and celebrations last week.

Andrea and our lovely staff trimmed the home beautifully with all sorts of decorations, including ones made by the residents.

On the day, our staff came in fancy dress and the morning was spent watching old war movies.

Later on we had all sorts of activities and games, including a game of World War II themed skittles, which everyone enjoyed and which got quite competitive!

War-time songs were being played, which residents were singing to along to with our staff and the activities coordinator.

Our thoroughly enjoyable VE Day celebrations were finished off with a lovely buffet tea, along with red, white and blue cupcakes.

Sandra brought Coco in for pet therapy, which every resident took part in, even our bed bound residents. Coco brought a huge smile to everyone's faces!

Rotherwood discovers its Lost Chords

Post author By admin
Post date April 6, 2018

Yesterday we were happy to welcome Melody from Lost Chord for a special afternoon of Music. Lost Chord aims to have a positive effect on dementia by using music to stimulate the areas of the brain which are still intact. They hope to maintain some sort of communication with residents suffering from dementia for a longer period of time through the different stages of the disease. This is particularly important where verbal communication is no longer possible.

Their work confirms clinical evidence that there are certain areas of the brain associated with musical patterns which remain potentially responsive, even when other areas have virtually deteriorated.”

"Music is the key which unlocks the door behind which a frightened, intimidated and humiliated person hides because life at times can be just too awful to bear!!"

Weekly Exercise Classes

Post author By admin
Post date October 21, 2016

Here at Rotherwood we have taken it upon ourselves to try to include at least one exercise based activity and one gaming activity into our activity planner each week.

These gentle but effective exercise classes can help improve their strength, co-ordination and balance. Weekly classes will be run by our activity coordinators and will take place in our quiet lounge situated on the ground floor. Service users are invited to get involved and join in with these light exercise classes from the comfort of their own chairs.

So far residents have enjoyed various classes including chair based exercise, chair based dance, armchair tai chi and relaxation meditation. They have also enjoyed chair based games which include carpet bowls, basket ball, darts and many more.

The positive impact this has had on our residents has been great, not only has the exercise been beneficial towards their health but it has also shown immediate benefits to their overall mood.

For the past four weeks, residents at Rotherwood Care Home have been taking part in our in-house bingo competition.

Each Wednesday at 1pm we have been gathering in the main lounge where we have been hosting our weekly event. The bingo games have been based around a different theme each week, with the final weeks theme being reminiscence. All of the service users who took part have thoroughly enjoyed the friendly competition. Here are a couple of things they had to say;

It brought back happy memories.
I used to enjoy going to bingo with my friends, I never won anything though.
