Huge congratulations to Woodlands Quaker Home in Wolverhampton as the worthy winner of our ever popular Pimp my Zimmer Competition. 

Zimmer Frames are a part of life for many older people but sometimes - particularly if they have dementia - they don't like using them as they cannot associate with them.

Research has shown that you can encourage your residents and service users to use their Zimmer Frame by decorating them with items or a theme that means something to them.

Beverley Price, Registered Manager at Woodlands Quaker Home, said all the zimmer frames "were decorated as part of [the residents'] morning activities and each one represented the jobs and the lives of the people who have made them."

There was an amazing array of decorated frames including a submarine and a tank for residents who had served in the Armed Forces. There was even one representing Crufts made by a resident who was formerly a judge at the show and had also written a book about dog training.

Beverley was delighted to receive their prize of a luxury hamper containing lots of goodies for both staff and residents.

Runner-up Certificates are also awarded to Belvidere Court Nursing Home in Wolverhampton and Field House Care Home in Stourbridge.
