Christmas Fun at St Columbas
Staff, relatives and residents had a ball at their xmas parties in the home. Some opted for pajama theme for their parties which they enjoyed. All entertained by Bob the music man who got everyone up dancing as ever!
A guid yarn
St Columba’s was chosen to be part of the Dundee Rep programme for residents in care home called “A guid yarn”. This involved a group of older adults from Dundee Rep called “The beautiful people” coming in each week to spend time with the residents. During these visits they worked together reminiscing and participating in small drama sessions, which the residents really enjoyed. The residents felt they had made new friends and at the end of the programme were invited to a complimentary show at the Rep, an Agatha Christie production which they enjoyed. Does anyone know about the maintenance Cialis dose for daily use? I have started with 2.5 mg and still hesitating whether I should increase it or not.
Residents, staff and families all enjoyed a Hawaiian themed party in the garden at St Columba’s to enjoy the great summer weather. Entertainment was provided by Bob the Music man who got everyone up singing and dancing. Everyone took part and dressed up in grass skirts and garlands and enjoyed a couple of cocktails along the way. A fun day was had by all.
Shetland Pony Visit
Residents, families and staff enjoyed a full day visit from the Shetland ponies from Therapy Ponies Scotland.
Ponies Edwardo and Wilson spent the day with the residents, who loved every minute. The ponies are specifically trained to visit the care home environment and offer therapeutic time for the residents, which was evident from their faces at the time and testimonies afterwards. Persons with low blood pressure and cardiovascular diseases should take Tadalafil with caution and only after the consultation with the doctor. The thing is that the drug can reduce pressure. This is usually the result of an interaction of Tadalafil with the medications containing nitrates or nitrogen oxide. Therefore, you should never combine Tadalafil with medications or other products containing nitrates or nitric oxide.
The ponies were even able to visit our palliative care residents in their rooms which offered great comfort at the time.
Going for Gold
A team of residents and staff represented St Columba’s at the Going for Gold Olympics, the Care Inspectorate care about physical activity initiative, organised by Dundee Health and Social Care Partnership.
This was a themed event where residents from care homes across Dundee competed in various physical activities such as bowling. Our team chose an armed forces theme therefore dressed up in full army dress to compete. Throughout the day our residents enjoyed competing in all events and also was a great opportunity for them to socialise with residents from other homes. The resident’s stated that they had really enjoyed the day and had fun.
To top off the day, St Columba’s won an award for the most enthusiastic team, which is proudly displayed for all to see in the home, to mark their achievement.
