This sunday 22nd March is Mothers Day.  Due to the visiting restrictions imposed due to the current C-19 crisis, activities coordinator Julie Lunt would like to assist residents to skype call / facebook video or Whatsapp video their family and friends. Julie will contact as many relatives prior to Sunday to arrange convenient  times where possible or if you would like to participate please contact the Forbury.

Thank you in advance for your help in this matter.

Singing for the brain session held at Leominster community centre (every 1st and 3rd thursday of the month).

These sessions are run by the Alzheimer’s society and the lady sings acapella and gets everyone to sit in a circle and join in using song sheets or memory.

Care coordinator Julie took along four residents last thursday and they really enjoyed it.

Care providers and workers should read the advice and guidance issued by the Department of Health and Social Care for the public on coronavirus, which can be found here, on symptoms of the virus and the importance of staying at home and seeking medical advice at the soonest opportunity.
One of the actions you can take to help avoid catching or spreading coronavirus is to make sure you wash your hands with soap and water often and the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) have produced 10 steps to effective hand washing. Details of expert RCN clinical guidance and additional RCN advice and resources can be found on the RCN website infection prevention and control pages.
