Bringing Moments of Joy & Choice to Everyday Life
At Park View Care Home, we believe that it’s often the little moments — the simple, joyful experiences — that make the biggest difference to our residents’ wellbeing.
Our Self-Serve Ice Cream Station is a much-loved feature of our home, giving residents the freedom to choose and enjoy their favourite treats whenever they wish.
More than just a source of fun, the Ice Cream Station supports independence, choice, sensory stimulation and social interaction — all vital elements of good dementia and elderly care.
Designed for Fun, Freedom & Engagement
The Ice Cream Station is open and accessible throughout the day, offering:
A choice of ice cream flavours — changed regularly to keep the selection fresh
Toppings & sauces — encouraging creativity and personal choice
Dementia-friendly design — clear layout, easy-to-use dispensers and serving tools
Opportunities for engagement — residents can serve themselves or be supported to do so
Residents are encouraged to visit the Station independently or with family and friends — promoting spontaneous moments of fun and enjoyment.
Why It Matters in Dementia & Elderly Care
Our Ice Cream Station offers more than just sweet treats. It helps to:
✅ Promote independence and decision-making
✅ Stimulate the senses — taste, touch, smell and sight
✅ Encourage reminiscence and joyful memories of childhood or family outings
✅ Support social interaction and spontaneous engagement
✅ Provide opportunities for family connection during visits
✅ Create moments of joy and celebration within daily life
For residents living with dementia, the positive sensory experience and element of choice can be deeply empowering and emotionally uplifting.
A Space for Family & Community
Families are warmly invited to share in this simple pleasure with their loved one — often finding that sitting down with an ice cream sparks conversation, memories and relaxed connection.
Our Ice Cream Station is also used for special occasions — birthdays, seasonal events, summer afternoons in the garden — helping to create a true sense of community and celebration within the home.
An Integral Part of Our Activities-Based Home
The Ice Cream Station perfectly reflects Park View’s activities-based, open-plan care model — where opportunities for choice, fun and meaningful engagement are woven throughout daily life.
For us, every moment matters — and sometimes, the simple joy of choosing your favourite ice cream can light up a whole afternoon.
