January Sales Day Trip
Afternoon shopping trip to Tesco Extra Serpentine Green Shopping Centre, Peterborough. Our residents enjoyed a walk around the shops picking up a bargain or two, after shopping we enjoyed a nice cup of coffee and cakes.
Elvis - The King of Rock & Roll
We celebrated Elvis Presley's birthday this weekend as we used our interactive tablet to watch the king of Rock and Roll. Everybody sang along and our residents were clicking their fingers and tapping their feet to the beat!
Face2Face Quality Time
This week at Longueville we have not only started a new year but also a new programme of providing a better sense of fulfillment for our residents. Our residents mental and physical wellbeing continually fluctuate due to their general health and not everyone can attend group activities, therefore we have started a new activity called 'Face2Face'.
During these sessions with our residents, we will be offering them a more rounded sense of wellbeing and everything will be based around their needs, wishes and interests. As we move forward with this, we hope our staff, residents and their families, see the difference, more interaction can have!
Resident Star of the Week
