☀️🧠 **Morning Quiz Fun!
This morning our residents enjoyed a lively morning quiz with the activities team. There’s nothing like an early morning quiz to get the brain matter going, helped along, of course, by a strong cup of coffee! ☕😊
A great start to the day filled with smiles, laughter, and a little healthy competition.
