Bringing back memories Pitkerro is a care home like no other. We recently purchased some outdoor play activities for when children visit their grandparents or one of the local schools visits. However, our residents Kathleen, Amy and May were not having that and wanted to try the see-saw out for themselves 😂😂 We’re all kids really, just in bigger bodies.
How many would you score We like to keep residents as fit as they wish and a great game for this whilst having fun is hoop throwing. Hand eye coordination is key, we always like to practice activities that help keep us strong.
The weekend and welcome…. Busty again this weekend at Pitkerro Care Centre. Our residents sure know how to keep us in our toes!! Also it’s a welcome to team Pitkerro , Doris, Betty and Frank. They look forward to bring sunshine to our outdoor space.
