At Catherine House Care Home, gardening and scrapbooking have long been a part of daily life, offering residents who are fondly referred to as family members, the chance to stay connected to their interests and routines. Now, a dedicated day each week will be set aside for these much-loved activities, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to take part.
Whether it’s spending time planting with maintenance man Paul, tending to plants and herbs, or creating personal keepsakes with team member Amber, these sessions provide a sense of purpose, encourage choice, and offer moments of connection.
Catherine House in Somerset continues to support familiar routines, independence, and the small moments that make a place feel like home.
For those living with a Dementia, these activities offer sensory experiences, a chance to engage in the moment, and the comfort of familiar routines—whether it’s feeling the soil while gardening, choosing colours and textures in scrapbooking, or simply enjoying the process without the need for reflection.
