LIFE AT THE DEVONSHIRE - August 2022

Welcome to our August edition of our digital newsletter called 'Life at the Devonshire'. 

Awesome August

Our Coffee and Singing Group made soundwaves across the community as our compassionate care team made noise every Wednesday 10:30-12:30.

Kathleen laughs as she receives a double dose of therapeutic activities in the form of vitamin D and doll therapy. Muriel and Eileen S bask in the garden’s glory.

Safety first. Our care team block the sun
(but never the fun) with a promotion of lotion.

FRIENDSHIPS

Striking lucky with an instant bond, Jackie and Alan hit it off from day one and often spend time eating together or discussing similar hobbies. At the Devonshire, we place social interaction and connection through friendship as a high priority.

New friendships are easy to make with the activities we have on offer.

FRESH AIR DRIVES

Swanning about, Muriel’s curiosity was palpable as she watched the deer go by in Richmond park from a window seat.

We tapped into a new location at Bushy Park in Hampton Court. With so much friendly nature and open space, our new Resident Barbara loved it!

GARDENING GLOW

Without a seed of doubt, gardening promotes wellbeing and creates moments of magic, especially at the Devonshire, where our surroundings look like this!
