At Springvale Care Home, our luxurious library has been designed to be the perfect space for residents to sit back, relax and spend time getting lost in a book. Here at Springvale Care Home we believe that libraries and reading groups can transform the lives of their residents, including those with dementia. We actively encourage all residents to make the most of the library space available to them, to enjoy the many benefits it brings; from the pure enjoyment of a really well written book, to reducing stress and enhancing sleep through to even improving memory circuits.
Reading independently or as part of a group encourages residents to use their imagination as well as providing points for discussion for fellow residents and even family members to enjoy together.
