Art exhibition at Solihull care home inspires residents

CARE home residents in Solihull, unveiled their art exhibition in style to family and friends at Claridge Place.

The care home art exhibition took place last week, with entertainment and plenty of cheese and wine.

Claridge Place incorporated the sensory painting method, involving a range of materials and techniques to create a textured and multi-sensory experience for the residents to showcase their skills.

Art can be a therapeutic and engaging activity for residents and can provide numerous benefits, including promoting cognitive function, reducing stress and anxiety and improving mood and social connections.

Stacey Debney Webber, customer relations manager at Claridge Place, said: “Art sessions are important for our residents at Claridge Place. It empowers them and gives them the opportunity to express themselves.

“It has had a positive impact or all our residents, particularly those living with a Dementia diagnosis.




“Over the past two months our residents have been working hard to produce some stunning art pieces for our exhibition.

“The residents at Claridge Place were proud to showcase their pieces and we received some wonderful feedback from families.


“The event gave the team, residents and their loved ones an opportunity to come together and celebrate.

The exhibition gave our residents a sense of achievement, inclusion and pride.”
