"Music is really helpful for people with dementia and it is nice to bring people together."
Staff entertained residents by taking part in a relay race which involved them stamping on balloons while wearing monster slippers.
This contest, which had residents cheering, was won by Deputy Manager Natalie Parnham's team.
Pensioners also enjoyed singing along with tucking into scary food.
Family members also went along to the event wearing fancy dress costumes and there was also a competition.
