The residents enjoyed preparing their croissants this morning! We provided a variety of jams and spreads for them to chose from and enjoy with a lovely, hot cuppa! They discussed and shared with each other how they like to have their croissants and were happy to independently select and spread their jams onto their croissants. Our residents love their independence and we promote this throughout their days with us, through varied and interesting choices with food and activities. It helps our residents to feel empowered and gives them the dignity they deserve. Spreading their jams also helps with fine motor skills in their hands and fingers, providing a great form of light exercise and movement, which is so important for the elderly.
