A care home in Rhyl, Wales is calling on their local community for help to turn residents’ memories into murals.

The owners of Glen Devon care home, Vivienne Davies-Quarrell and Paul Quarrell, are looking for creative thinkers in order to move their project forward.

Mrs Davies-Quarrell said: “So many of our residents coming from Rhyl and all have memories that are so meaningful to them, but due to recall memory problems, they just need a little help from the environment to access these memories. It is up to us and our wonderful staff to bring these to life.

“Many residents have contributed to different things to life in Rhyl and district over the years. Our minibus goes out three afternoons a week and takes residents out of regular living reminiscence outings along the coast and at other times, to Snowdonia and Knowsley Safari Park.”

Residents can also enjoy the home’s garden summer house, which was transformed into a Beach Hut Café, which residents have named Joyce – a nod to Joyce Royle, who has been a staff member of Glen Devon since 1984.

“The staff wanted even the frailest of our residents to be able to experience a change of scene, where memories of the seaside can be triggered. In addition, we really wanted to recognise the contribution of an extraordinary woman,” said Mrs Davies-Quarrell.

Glen Devon supports individuals over the age of fifty living with memory difficulties due to a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or dementia.
