Sundial Care Home, which sits near the town of Sidmouth, has been enjoying regular exercise sessions with G-Fitness, helping family members (residents) keep moving and stay active.
Instructor
Shannon, uses a selection of gentle exercises and games that encourage family
members to keep moving and stay engaged. These include activities with red
bouncy balls, which family members raise above their heads, throw and catch
them, and pass them between one another. Shannon has a natural way of
motivating anyone who joins in and often inspires the team to continue
encouraging movement with family members even when she is not there.
The sessions
are designed to support movement and mobility while also creating an enjoyable
atmosphere. Exercise and keeping mobile can help people maintain strength,
coordination and confidence, and the sessions offer a simple way for family
members to remain active in a way that feels social and uplifting.
One family
member who spent many years working as a PE teacher particularly enjoys the
sessions, as they reconnect her with something that was once a big part of her
life.
The residential care home in East Devon offers a range of regular activities to keep family members engaged in everyday life, including their gardening club, art sessions and community outings, as well as yearly community events held in the home’s three-acre grounds.
