Life at Plas-Y-Dderwen Care Home
Happy St Dwynwen's Day
Dydd Santes Dwynwen Hapus!
Saint Dwynwen is the Welsh patron saint of lovers. We welcomed some very special visitors, year 1 class from Johnstown Primary School. The children made beautiful cards with the residents along with heart shaped pictures. Colin also played his harmonica for the childrenWhat a delight the children were and they really did bring smiles all round.
An Introduction to Crystals
The Plas-Y-Dderwen Actvities Coordinator has a personal interest in crystals and thought it would be something the residents would find interesting and she was absolutely right. The group of residents were fascinated to learn about the power of crystals and their meaning. They created a crystal mandala which is a symetrical and spiritual symbol.
Pamper Day
There were lots of glamorous residents at Plas-Y-Dderwen as our visiting hairdresser had a very busy day. All our residents love that we have our own salon and they all looked fabulous. We also use the salon for manicures another very popular pamper session.
