Today the residents on the Jeanne Jugan unit enjoyed themselves as they together with the sisters and staff participated in our Sonas session. They particularly loved the clapping and gently moving to the various different exercises. Afterwards they sang: You are my sunshine, it’s a long way to Tipperary, Sweet Rosie O Grady and many more. Our residents who suffer from dementia benefited as well, as herbal oils was rub into their hands where they could scent and guess the different smells.
Everyone really enjoyed themselves and in the end with 3-4 staff members sang once you are my sunshine without music while beating out the time with musical instruments and drums.
Thanks to all who helped make this session memorable.
