Song and Smile Parent and Toddler Are Back!
An intergenerational group connection for mother's toddlers and older people in the care homes to interact with one another. The residents had a great time bonding with the toddlers. There was listening to music, singing, talking, laughter and just having lots of fun. It's all about boosting the resident's wellbeing and reducing loneliness. When the session was finished, they were relaxed, and refreshments are given. Everyone involved had a great day. There is never a dull moment in our care home.
