Barn Dance For Dementia Proves A Delight For Orchard House Residents

Saturday, 2 September 2023 06:00

Residents at Orchard House Care Centre enjoyed a special day when the Barn Dance for Dementia arrived at the home on Bank Holiday Monday.

The central theme of the event revolved around the idea of promoting solidarity and understanding in the community, especially among those affected by dementia and their families.

Highlighting the event was the enchanting performance by Bethan, whose captivating voice and musical talent cast a spell on the audience.

Attendees were transported into a genuine country atmosphere as they revelled in the melodies that resonated throughout the venue.

A unique touch to the event was the inclusion of authentic American-style hot dogs, which added a dash of nostalgia and a taste of culture to the day's proceedings.
