Residents enjoyed an activity which explored a variety of senses at HC-One’s Falstone Court care home in Roker, Sunderland.

They also explored sensory balls and twiddle muffs, Residents enjoyed the feeling of the sensory balls rolling up and down their arms.
A great time was had by all, with one Resident commenting: “I wasn’t sure what to expect but it was a really enjoyable and relaxing activity.”
