On 31 May, Stephen visited Manor Farm Care Home to experience their new simulated train carriage. He took a short (simulated) train ride alongside Marta Giza-Uwake, the manager of the care home, and a pet therapy dog.
The “Jolly Station”, as the simulated train carriage is known, is the latest addition in £200,000 refurbishment of the Manor Farm Care Home. It is designed to stimulate the memories of people suffering from dementia and help them to socialise. A smart screen TV shows videos of steam train journeys and the room resembles a 1940s train carriage.
Stephen visited the Manor Farm Care Home on 31 May to experience the Jolly station. During the visit, he met with Marta Giza-Ukawe to discuss the work of the care home and the progress of its refurbishment.
“The Jolly Station is an ingenuous way to support people with dementia,” Stephen said following his visit. “I am pleased with the work Manor Farm Care Home are doing to provide the best possible care to residents.”
