Hi, I would like to organise a wine and cheese tasting event for our residents, but would like some input/suggestions from anyone who has held one. These would be low and high care residents.
Thanks,
Janida

Hi Janida, there will some ideas on 'Wine & Cheese Tasting' in the June activities.

I have heard that we cannot give soft cheeses to those in a Nursing Home. Is this right? These are all the yummy cheeses. Is there something else we can use.?

Solange 24th Apr 2015

Hi Janelle, soft cheeses are often made with unpasteurized milk and can possibly, and unluckily, harm elder people. For that reason many facilities avoid soft cheeses. Hard cheeses are fine and can be made soft by melting or mashed with herbs. Best wishes.

Guess Who?

I get the staff to bring in a young photo of themselves. The photo goes up on the notice-board for a week with entry forms. Some of the guesses are hilarious!

Indoor putting weekly league

Golf is recognised as a good activity for promoting mental, physical and social wellbeing. Putting is a relaxing and ideal indoor activity that can be done by people with previous golfing skills and those who have never played before.
