Christmas Cheer Kicks Off at Epsom Village!

The festive season is in full swing at Epsom Village, thanks to the delightful visit from Dio’s youngest pupils. Every year, these adorable 3- and 4-year-old performers bring joy to our residents with their heartwarming Christmas concert, making it a highlight of our social calendar.

Their visit also gave us the perfect excuse to put up and decorate the Christmas tree and break out the festive hats! This year’s carol selection was a hit, with the energetic rendition of “Pop Bang Crack” stealing the show. After their performance, the girls presented handmade Christmas cards, lovingly crafted from recycled paper. They used waste paper from their classroom—old paintings, unnamed drawings, and leftover scraps from cutting activities—and transformed it into new paper for the cards, adding a thoughtful touch that made the occasion even more meaningful.

At Real Living, fostering connections with our local community is something we hold dear. Our relationship with Dio continues to grow stronger each year, with their Christmas concert and Mother’s Day performance now cherished traditions in our calendar.

Here’s to the joy of togetherness and the magic of the season!

Movement and Mindfulness

At Real Living, we are always exploring new ways to improve the well-being of our residents and staff. One of our latest initiatives, the Holistic Dance Exercise Programme (HDEP), is an innovative, evidence-based project developed by our Group Culture, Care, and Quality Manager, Reign Marcial. Rooted in academic research and inspired by established practices from the Alzheimer’s Society in the UK, this programme integrates movement, meditation, and structured exercise to support cognitive function, balance, and fall prevention among older adults.
