Who needs to go to the pub when you can bring the pub to you! Ash Grange Residents enjoyed an early evening get together in the lounge which had been transformed into a pub for everyone to have a delicious evening meal and a little tipple if they wished.
With many care homes across the country being in local lockdown or suffering from outbreaks, staff need to be extra creative in the way they run wellbeing activities. Many Residents may miss seeing their families and friends at this current time, so creating a setting which promotes a friendly atmosphere among fellow Residents and staff members can really help.
Residents enjoyed having their tea at the pub along with a variety of pub snacks, and a selection of drinks. Then they played bingo, dominoes and sang along to the music that was played. Everyone was in such wonderful spirits!
One Colleague commented, “It was lovely to see our residents enjoying a pub theme activity playing pub games and enjoying their tea at the pub. Our Residents certainly enjoyed the pork scratchings and the alcohol drinks while enjoying a game of bingo!”
Resident, Mr Malcolm Dolman, said, “The time at our pub was definitely worth leaving my room for! I enjoyed every minute of it!”
Home Manager, Anita Horton, remarked “It was lovely seeing our Residents all happy and enjoying a drink at our own pub theme event”.
