FITNESS & EXERCISE


approach ensures that each resident receives the specific care and support they need to stay active and healthy.


Ultimately, maintaining physical health is crucial for day-to-day independence in a care home setting. Ensuring diverse exercise offerings and a supportive environment empowers residents to stay active, engaged, and as independent as possible.


“Incorporating increased activity and mobility into care routines


can help roll back the effects of medical conditions.”


We are fortunate to have our care home set within sprawling 14-acre gardens, providing the perfect space for gentle outdoor movement and activities like gardening. The impact of fresh air and natural surroundings provides peace and tranquillity, reducing stress and promoting mental clarity.


IMPORTANCE OF AN INDIVIDUALISED APPROACH


It’s vital for carers, care home managers, and other care professionals to recognise the importance of implementing flexible and tailored exercise programmes for those under their care – a blanket approach is not practical.


Instead, carers should work with residents and their families to develop personalised exercise plans that address specific needs and abilities. By doing so, carers can ensure that each individual receives the full benefits associated with regular physical activity. Through this collaborative and customised approach, we can optimise the positive impact of exercise in care settings.
