Mollie McCurrach’s Journey at Our Day Care Centre in Bedford

At Radfield Home Care Bedford & Ampthill, we believe in championing the care that people want as well as need. This ethos is beautifully embodied by one of our cherished clients, Mollie McCurrach, an inspiring 90-year-old whose warmth, kindness, and infectious laughter continue to uplift everyone around her. Recently, we had the pleasure of celebrating Mollie’s 90th birthday—a joyful occasion brimming with love and cherished memories. In light of this special event, we would like to reflect on Mollie’s journey at our Adult Day Care Centre so far.

Finding Community at Our Bedford Day Care Centre

In March 2024, Mollie faced a challenging time when she had a fall, resulting in a hospital stay that left her feeling delicate. Following her recovery, Mollie and her husband, Paul, looked for a Day Care Centre in Bedford & Ampthill that could support her needs, especially with her journey through dementia, while offering enriching activities. Their search brought them to Radfield Home Care.

Mollie started attending our Bedford Day Care Centre in June 2024 and quickly discovered a warm, welcoming community. With a personalised approach, our dedicated Care Professionals provide her with day care support that enables her to thrive. From the moment she walks through our doors, Mollie’s vibrant personality brightens the room. Our team is committed to keeping her connected to what matters most, including cherished memories and the joy of creating new ones.

Mollie’s weekly routine is filled with engaging activities tailored to her interests and abilities. Initially struggling with mobility, we introduced her to weekly chair exercises and games designed to improve her strength and balance. Mollie has thrived in this environment, often excelling in our dartboard games, where her keen sense of accuracy shines through.

In addition to physical activities, Mollie enjoys pampering sessions like nail painting and hand massages, enhancing her experience at our dementia friendly Day Centre in Bedfordshire. These moments of self-care are essential to her week, allowing her to relax and enjoy the company of her fellow attendees.

One of Mollie’s standout experiences at the Day Centre was making her own pizza for the first time in years. She shared,  “I haven’t done this for a long time!”.

This activity delighted her taste buds and sparked memories of cooking for her family. Mollie loves taking home the delicious pizzas and cakes she creates to share with Paul, bringing her immense joy and satisfaction. Her story is just one example of the enriching social activities for older adults in Bedfordshire that we offer.

A Spark of Energy

Mollie’s enthusiasm is infectious. Pam Kaur, the Director & Owner of Radfield Home Care Bedford and Ampthill, said:

“Mollie brings a spark of energy to Radfield Day Centre with her vibrant stories, lighting up every room she enters with her warmth, laughter, and unforgettable tales.”

While Mollie continues to navigate the challenges of dementia, our care ensures she remains engaged, physically active, and mentally stimulated. The compassionate, dedicated support at Radfield Day Centre provides dementia support and activities in Bedford & Ampthill that are tailored to each individual, respecting their unique needs and preferences.

Paul is grateful for the care Mollie receives, knowing that during her time with us, she is happy, safe, and well cared for. This reassurance allows him to relax and enjoy his own time, confident that Mollie’s well being is in compassionate hands.
