My World Rocks at Mellish House
Residents and staff at Mellish House in Sudbury, have been getting in involved with our summer long project - My World Rocks – that was launched during National Care Home Open Week. Its purpose is to connect care homes with their local communities, challenge misconceptions about care and remind everyone that the unique individuals who live in care homes are supported by dedicated and professional caring teams.
The residents and staff had so much fun painting colourful images and words that make them happy on rocks, as part of our summer community project, which will be creating a wonderful rock garden for all the residents to enjoy. Mellish House reached out to relatives and the local community inviting them to paint their own rocks and bring them into the home to add to the rock garden.
Residents showed a lot of concentration during this activity and are looking forward to displaying them proudly in our new garden when our upcoming sensory section is complete.
This project will be running throughout the summer, and we hope to be able to open the garden to the community when we are able to for everyone to see the lovely creations.
