Valentines Day, Pet Therapy and More At Rotherwood Care Home Rotherham

Our residents have had a great time recently with Valentines Day craft activities, pet therapy and Valentine’s Day celebrations and party.

Everyone really enjoyed the events and loved the pet therapy.  We had Dave Jay entertain us on Valentine’s Day and he even got the staff up singing to the residents, which they all thoroughly enjoyed.

Sandra brought Coco in for pet therapy, which every resident took part in, even our bed bound residents. Coco brought a huge smile to everyone’s faces!

Addressing Dementia through Music

Lost Chord is an innovative charity dedicated to improving the quality of life and well-being of those living with dementia using interactive musical stimuli to increase their general awareness and self esteem.

We invite them into our home to engage with residents through the medium of music. It is always a fun session and great to see our residents light up and participate in the sessions.
