Mihaela our Recreation and Well-Being Lead brought in a variety of kalanchoes and roses, a peace lily and an orchid and our residents interacted with each one, finding out interesting facts about them. This <strong>boosted their memories<\/strong> about their own plants and gardening in the past.<\/p>\n<h2>Enjoyment of music<\/h2>\n<p>Music and dance is a primary interest at Lukestone, so we invited <strong>Karen, who plays the cello<\/strong> <strong>and is also a Dance Therapist<\/strong>, to provide a dance routine after beautifully playing her cello.
