RESIDENTS at HC-One’s St Peter’s Court Care Home in Redcar were transported to the coast without ever leaving their seats, thanks to a morning of creative fun with “magic painting.”
The innovative activity saw residents using special painting materials that revealed colourful seaside scenes as they brushed water across the pages. There were smiles all around as images gradually appeared and then slowly faded again as they dried.
Wellbeing coordinator Beverley Kitching said: “It was a lovely morning filled with creativity, conversation and laughter.
“The magic painting really sparked joy and nostalgia for everyone involved. This heart-warming activity is one of many at St Peter’s Court designed to support wellbeing, stimulate memory, and promote social engagement for our residents, all just a stone’s throw from the beautiful local coastline.”
Those taking part in the session included residents Angela Castle, Elyse Crane, Lynne Hodgson and Margaret Beazley, who all left with big smiles and colourful creations.
