Retro Reminiscence

Retro Reminiscence at Langham Court

Posted on by Nicky Macfarlane

Anyone who has visited Langham Court will have seen an array of themed areas along the corridors.  These include travel corner with old fashioned suitcase and keepsakes from Africa, the crafting area along with a Singer sewing machine, as well as our old fashioned sweet shop complete with jars of treats.

Each has been added to prompt conversation and reminiscence, which is especially important for those people living with Dementia at the Estate.

As part of our ongoing commitment to continually enhance our care at Langham Court we have added a new wall mural, featuring a village shopping scene and are now planning a new focus on adding memorabilia from the 50’s or 60’s.

We need your help!

We are asking for donations of any items from this era, particularly which are linked to the topics of pets, sport and music as we’ve identified them as common interests among many of our current residents.

Please let us know if you have any household items that can be displayed on walls and shelves, like old vinyl records, vintage album cover posters, football team shirts, we would love them!  We’ll use them to decorate areas around Langham Court to stimulate conversation and reminiscence.

Please call 01428 606 143 or drop us an email at langham@hlestate.co.uk
