Residents of a nursing home have been getting crafty.

At Pengover, Cornwall Care’s purpose-built nursing home in Liskeard, residents have been enjoying various activities and entertainment.

They’ve been enjoying various craft sessions, including making some beautiful bouquets for the home in a flower arranging session, decorating some cupcakes and doing some drawing.

A Cornwall Care spokesperson said: ’Taking part in activities is encouraged across Cornwall Care’s homes and staff do their best to provide as many activities as they can, working around the individuals that they care for.

’For the residents that get involved, it can be a very therapeutic, engaging and social occasion. It also helps create a family atmosphere, where everyone has an opportunity to put his or her personal stamp on the home.

’Art can be a great way of exercising the hands and can have brilliant benefits to mental well-being, keeping the mind active and engaged by being creative.’
