RESIDENTS at Charters Court Care Home in East Grinstead enjoyed a relaxing and colourful morning as they took part in a flower arranging session designed to promote wellbeing, creativity and social connection.
It encouraged residents to engage their senses through the colours, textures and fragrances of the flowers, while also supporting fine motor skills, coordination and cognitive stimulation.
Residents chatted, shared memories and supported one another as they selected and arranged blooms, creating a calm and uplifting atmosphere throughout the home.
Home manager Julie Harper said: “Activities like flower arranging offer so many benefits for our residents. They help to promote relaxation, boost mood and provide valuable opportunities for social interaction.
“It was wonderful to see everyone so engaged and taking such pride in their creations, and the flowers have really brightened our home.”
The finished arrangements are now displayed around the HC-One operated home, bringing colour and cheer to communal areas and residents’ rooms, and giving everyone a sense of pride and achievement in seeing their work enjoyed by others.
