Residents at a south Oxfordshire Care Home enjoyed a ‘virtual’ summer cruise from the comfort of their front rooms last week.
The ‘globe-trotting’ group enjoyed a recreation of holiday hot spots from across the world and even welcomed people from the local community along for the ride on one of the days.
Sanctuary Care's Wantage home, which provides residential dementia and nursing dementia care, invited locals for a country and western celebration with entertainment and a barbecue.
Residents also tried their hand at the hula in Hawaii, sampling tapas in Spain and sailing back to Britain for traditional fish and chips and a sing-a-long.
Activities leader Wendy Pill said: “It’s been a fantastic week.
“Many of our residents have some amazing memories of travelling in their youth and with their loved ones so it’s a privilege to be able to make some more with them, from the comfort of our home."
The initiative took place in numerous Sanctuary Care homes nationwide.
