In a heart-warming event, Newport's Orchard House Care Home recently hosted a fantastic Dementia Coffee Morning at its facility.

Residents gathered to reminisce, flipping through old pictures and sharing memories while attempting to identify locations captured on the Island.

Amidst the cosy ambiance, the delightful aroma of tea and coffee filled the air, accompanied by the indulgence of delicious cookies.

This event not only provided an opportunity for connection and joy but also created a sensory-rich experience for our residents.

As the day unfolded, the afternoon was gracefully led by Auntie G, who continued to engage and entertain with captivating readings.

This meaningful day exemplifies our commitment to creating a vibrant and supportive community for our residents.
