The Amwell Care Home Enjoys Summer with Outdoor Activities & Community Engagement

Residents of The Amwell Care Home have been soaking up the sun and fresh air, taking advantage of the beautiful weather by moving most of their activities outdoors. The initiative aimed to provide a refreshing change of scenery, boost vitamin D levels and offered a new visual environment for everyone involved.

Throughout the summer, residents participated in a variety of engaging outdoor activities. These included outdoor games, gardening and relaxation sessions where they reminisced about fond memories. Adding to the joy, children from the local nursery, Oasis, joined the residents, creating a vibrant intergenerational experience that was enjoyed by all.

To keep everyone refreshed and energised, a variety of outdoor treats such as ice creams and fruit platters were served. One of the highlights of the outdoor activities was the nature trail, which featured water elements, butterfly ornaments and charming fairy houses. This trail provided a serene and stimulating environment for residents to explore and enjoy.

The primary purpose of these outdoor events was to allow residents to get some fresh air, absorb essential vitamin D and experience a different visual environment. It was a delightful change that fostered socialisation, teamwork and mental stimulation. Residents enjoyed quality time with visitors, friends and loved ones, strengthening bonds and creating cherished memories.

The activities were designed not only for enjoyment but also to encourage physical exercise and teamwork. Residents took pride in their participation, reminiscing and sharing stories with their companions. The intergenerational interaction with the children from Oasis Nursery added an extra layer of joy and connection, making the events even more special.

Overall, the outdoor activities at The Amwell Care Home have been a resounding success, benefiting the residents both physically and mentally. The blend of nature, social interaction and fun activities has created a wonderful atmosphere of community and wellbeing, making this summer truly memorable for everyone involved.
