In our care home’s Reading and Listening Club, residents gathered to enjoy a relaxing session of short story readings. Staff selected engaging, uplifting stories that sparked interest and nostalgia. As residents listened, some shared their thoughts or memories related to the stories, fostering discussion and connection. The activity encouraged mental stimulation, active listening, and social engagement, offering a comforting space for residents to enjoy literature together. This shared experience brought a sense of warmth and companionship, making it a cherished part of our care home’s activities.
