The people of Brook House Care Home took a trip down memory lane this week as they explored places, they lived in the past using google earth.
Google Earth allows you to explore any place in the world from the comfort of your home. Most people use it to look at wonders of the world, but the team at Brook House thought it would be wonderful to use the street view feature and explore some of the towns people used to live in.
Hazel used to live in Chesterton and said it was a lovely place to live. Whilst touring the streets, Hazel said how much it had changed since she lived there. It also helped to bring back some memories of where her family and friends lived as well as some of the places she used to cycle. Hazel said it was lovely to go back in time and visit Chesterton again.
Heather also recognised the streets as her friends and family also lived in Chesterton. Heather said it was much quieter and there were a lot fewer cars when she was younger, but she had a great time looking around the area and surrounding places as it brought back some lovely memories.
Heather was especially delighted when she saw the house she lived in before she moved into Brook House, the home where her husband still lives. She said the experience made her feel close to him.
Lifestyle Coordinator Jade said this was a great success with the residents, so she will be asking other people living at Brook House if they would like to take part in future sessions.
