We are introducing “queen for a day” pamper session and “dream date” (previously done in other care home). The gentleman’s dream date was to see Clydesdale horses. We arranged this, took cameras and plenty of photographs and the gentleman was given a horse shoe as memento. We then developed the photos that day and provided an album and the handyman mounted the horse shoe on a shield so two hours later he had lasting evidence of his dream date.
