At Abbeyfield Hoylake & West Kirby, we believe life in later years should be filled with laughter, movement and plenty of moments that bring joy. Last week, Jenna from Boogie Woogie Music, Movement & Memories brought her infectious energy and musical magic to our residents once again.
This time, we rolled up our sleeves and stepped ‘into the kitchen’ for a themed afternoon of music all about food! With wonderful songs it didn’t take long for toes to start tapping and smiles to spread across the room.
As always, Jenna’s sessions aren’t just about the music – they’re about memories, movement and making connections. Residents joined in with singing, shared favourite recipes from their past, and even took part in a fun (and surprisingly competitive!) “Guess the Herb” quiz. Let’s just say the room has never smelled so fragrant with all the sniffing of rosemary, basil and thyme!
There was dancing, there was laughter, and there was that lovely sense of community we’re so proud of here. These kinds of activities are just one of the many ways we enrich life in a residential setting and support day-to-day care with a personal touch.
Who are Boogie Woogie?
Boogie Woogie specialises in creating uplifting experiences through music, movement and memory sessions. Tailored for all ages and abilities, each session is designed to build a community that thrives on interactive music, offering a compassionate environment where everyone can feel included and engaged. These sessions go beyond fun – they foster meaningful connections, enhance well-being and create lasting memories. With a strong focus on cognitive development and sensory stimulation, Boogie Woogie brings people together to share joy and make cherished memories along the way.
At Abbeyfield, we know the importance of life-enriching activities. Whether it’s dancing in the lounge, singing along to favourite songs, or sharing stories over a cuppa, every moment matters. These experiences not only lift spirits but also help with mobility, memory and overall wellbeing.
We pride ourselves on being more than just a care home. We’re a warm and welcoming space where older people are cared for with dignity and respect, and where families have peace of mind knowing their loved ones are supported in a safe and social setting for ageing well.
Whether you’re looking for short-term elderly care, or just need a helping hand, we’re here to offer elderly support tailored to individual needs. Our friendly staff and respectful elderly care team make every effort to create a homely environment for later life. They get involved in our activities, creating a home filled with joy, purpose and community spirit.
