The Benefits Of Moving Into a Care Home With a Garden
Green spaces such as care home gardens allow residents connect with nature, which can work wonders when it comes to promoting wellbeing and an all-round healthy lifestyle. Spending time outdoors reduces stress while promoting blood flow and mood.
Residents can also be more active, discover new hobbies or rekindle old ones. If your loved one is more mobile, they may be able to take part in gardening activities as well, including creating brand-new, colourful garden borders.
In a dementia care home, a sensory garden will stimulate the five senses and help your loved one recall special memories.
Care Home Garden Activities
Here are some of the most popular activities residents can enjoy within a care home garden:
- Growing fruit, vegetables and herbs
- Watering plants
- Arranging flowers and planting up containers
- Creating borders with unique and colourful flowers and plants
- Playing garden games such as boules, croquet, skittles and much more
- Garden-inspired artwork
What’s more, many residents love to simply bask in the sunlight on a warm summer’s day.
