Life at Plas-Y-Dderwen Care Home
Funky Donkey
It's always a pleasure to have Toby the donkey visit our home.
Fun in the Sun
Plas Y Dderwen had a wild and wonderful day on their recent open day. The fun started when the homes' General Manager and Deputy Manager crazily ventured into a bath of gooey cold beans, however, it was not as bad as they were hosed down by the fire brigade.
The next challenge they faced was to eat Locusts, kindly supplied by Bug Farm St David’s. It was a really fun day, attended by residents, staff, family members and the local community.
Castle View and Ice Cream
Sunny afternoon in the village Laugharne. Enjoying an ice cream with the castle on the background. Celebrating Dylan Thomas Day.
Trip to Carew Castle
Residents were accompanied by children from Lollypops Nursery on a nostalgic trip to Carew Castle, where they were welcomed with vintage cars, motorbikes and military vehicles.
It brought tears to one of the residents, quoting 'I was stationed here in the war and so happy to return, I never thought I would see this castle again.'
Easter Celebrations
Easter was a special time at Plas-Y-Dderwen, as kids from the local school came in to celebrate with us!
Horsin' Around
In the spirit of the Grand National, residents and staff enjoyed horsing around when a staff members brought in her horse, George.
