Britain's What's On Event Guide
Care home pieces together community event for National Puzzle Day
A care home in High Wycombe is hosting a brain-teasing event for National Puzzle Day.
On Thursday 29th January, from 2pm–4pm, Care UK’s Ridley Manor, on The Row, is inviting the local community to join residents and team members for a cosy afternoon of games and jigsaws.
Guests will be treated to a delicious cup of hot cocoa, all while solving puzzles designed to encourage mindfulness and relaxation.
Residents will also team up with Lane End Primary school to help pupils solve more complex puzzles and riddles together.
Estelle Adriaans, Home Manager at Ridley Manor said: “We’re so excited to be opening our doors and welcoming the local community to join us for our hot cocoa and puzzle afternoon.
“Brain teasers and puzzles are incredibly beneficial for older people, especially those living with dementia. Our goal with this event is to bring people together through intergenerational activities that support mental and physical wellbeing, which is at the heart of what we do at Ridley Manor.
“We can’t wait for a day full of teamwork, laughter and connection – and hot cocoa!”
Ridley Manor provides full-time residential, nursing and dementia care, as well as short-term respite care. Designed to enable residents to live fulfilled lives, while also promoting independence, the
home incorporates plenty of space for leisure activities and hobbies, including a cinema, hair and beauty salon and café.
