Hats off (and on!) for our Dementia Awareness Week

Wednesday, 24 May 2017

On Monday 15th May we celebrated International Nurses’ Day as part of   Dementia Awareness Week. We held a coffee morning and residents tried on a nurse’s hat.  Then we had a nice natter over a cup of tea and some scrummy cakes.  Everyone had a lovely time, and we thought it was a really nice way of helping everyone to spare a thought for people with dementia.

On Thursday 18th May, shortly after the real event, we decided we’d have our own celebration by having a Eurovision sing along with singer Annie.  Just to add a bit of extra spice to the occasion, we all wore silly hats.  And why not?  They all seem to do a lot of daft things in the Eurovision song contest, so why shouldn’t we?
