Our residents who are living with dementia may struggle to recall insignificant or short-term memories, but the smell and the feel of the seaside may spark memories from the past. The garden at Edwardstow Court was set up with a paddling pool for residents to dip their toes in plus a sand pit and buckets and spades. It was a sunny day, so the team made hats out of handkerchiefs for the residents to wear. Lunch was fish and chips served in old-fashioned chip paper. In the afternoon children from Stow primary joined us. The children all chose to bring along something that reminded them of the seaside, some of the children showed our residents shells and some had books which talked about the seaside and holidays.
