WHAT A FIND.
Whilst re organising the archiving at Emily Jackson House, our team came across several very old photo albums. Upon looking at the albums we found the photos dated back to the 1930's when Emily Jackson House was a children's hospital.
These albums show an assortment of pictures of the then patients - all children - some ' taking air' in their hospital beds in the gardens of Emily Jackson House. All photos of residents are named. There is also a history of Emily Jackson House and how it became a 'hip hospital' for children
This fabulous find will shortly go on exhibition at Sevenoaks Library. More information to follow
Sensory Room sensations
Sensory room stimulation. Our residents on memory lane are enjoying the benefits of Emily Jackson's magic table in our newly created sensory room. Its so lovely to see how the residents enjoy the games our 'tovertafel' table plays and provides. Sessions in our sensory room run twice daily, If you would like to see the stimulations our sensory room provides just pop along and we would be happy to show you
