The inner child never leaves you – even in residential aged care
One of the common misconceptions about living in residential aged care is that residents are not encouraged to have fun – but that is far from the truth.
Regis Nedlands has held its second annual foam party that brings back the inner child in the residents.
More than 40 residents joined the fun alongside family, friends, and enthusiastic employees last month.
“It’s wonderful to see everyone come together to enjoy themselves and create special moments in such a unique setting,” Regis Nedlands’ General Manager Bonni Sekulich said.
“We like to challenge the perception of ageing and create a distinct program of activities based around things that make our residents smile.
“Everyone was welcome to join in on this incredible day – we had family members dancing with their loved ones, team members showing off their moves and even had senior management join us on this special day.”
For many residents the foam party was a new and exciting experience, providing a sensory activity that engaged them in a unique way. It was also a way to connect with residents who don’t usually choose to participate in activities.
