Description

Punch and Judy Stand adds interest and interaction to any care setting

The immediate surroundings can significantly impact your residents’ quality of life. Not only will providing the right environment help to promote meaningful interaction and purposeful activities between your residents and staff. But also an engaging healthcare setting will ensure the overall wellbeing of patients and residents.

In comparison, a bad environment can cause anxiety and stress. Understanding your residents’ beliefs and culture is an essential part to getting the environment right.

  • Organise a traditional Punch and Judy show
  • With buckets and spades in a sand pit, set about making sandcastles in front of the Punch And Judy Stand
  • Play “Touring England” and reminisce about past holidays. Or, for the more active, have a game of Ring Toss
  • Offer fish and chips for lunch and ice creams for an afternoon snack
  • Encourage your residents to talk about days out when they were younger by hold painting classes themed around the seaside
  • Create a rummage chest and fill it with shells, pebbles, postcards and souvenirs
