This afternoon our residents enjoying making their own pizzas! It was a productive time, chopping vegetables, grating cheese and being creative as we built our own pizzas.
The residents really enjoyed this activity and it gave them a sense of independence, to be able to decide how they would like to have their individual pizzas and making it themselves! The pictures show you how delicious they looked and we can tell you they were thoroughly enjoyed too!

Preparing food, or even cooking, is a great activity for our elderly community. It promotes independence, reduces stress, provides control over diet and stimulates cognitive function through sensory engagement and creativity.

If you have any ideas, for similar engaging activities for our residents, we would love to hear from you!
