Sunscreen and hats on to enjoy the lovely sea breeze and blue skies from our garden area! Last week's weather was pretty incredible. We're looking forward to spending a lot more time outside in summer. 🌞

Sometimes the simplest moments can bring the greatest sense of comfort. A hand to hold, an arm around the shoulder, and simply having someone there with you can help people feel safe, reassured and cared for.

We received such a lovely letter from the students at Ilfracombe Junior School after their recent visit to the home. ✉️🥰 Perfect timing too, as we’ve recently added some new touches to our home’s 'post office' area! #ilfracombe#northdevoncarehome#northdevonnursing#devoncare
We finished off Chair Zumba last week with dancing, singing and plenty of laughter. Some people were up on their feet holding hands and moving together, while others joined in from their chairs, clapping along to the music and chatting between songs.

An afternoon spent around the table enjoying different games and puzzles🧩From giant playing cards to jigsaws, there was plenty to keep everyone occupied and focused throughout the afternoon.

A table set for more than just a meal. Puzzles, a soft toy, or a newspaper become something to pick up or look at while sitting down to eat. For those who take a little longer to eat, having something nearby to focus on and engage with can make all the difference. #devoncarehome
Harry stood by the window, keeping his hands busy with his ‘ironing’ and spending time in the laundry area. For some people living with a Dementia, everyday household tasks can bring a sense of comfort and purpose.
