Ilkeston care home residents are feeling fit & fabulous at the launch of their new community ‘Four Seasons Feel Good Club’
Residents at Haddon House Care Home in Ilkeston have enjoyed a morning of fun exercise and healthy treats at the opening of their new community ‘Four Seasons Feel Good Club’.
The new club aims to bring residents, carers, family members and people living in the local community the opportunity to get together for a series of fun, feel-good activities throughout the year.
Residents enjoyed a gentle exercise session and played a game of tennis and volleyball, all from the comfort of their armchairs. After the games, the care home’s chef whizzed up a range of pudding-inspired smoothies including carrot cake, key lime pie, strawberry shortcake and apple pie with residents taking part in a taste test, trying to guess the flavours.
The care home’s Magic Moments Coordinator, Gaynor Fairweather, said: “Our new Four Seasons Feel Good Club is proving to be a real hit with our residents and includes a wide range of activities to benefit the mind, body and soul. The club is open to everyone, so it’s a great way to keep our residents connected to their local community. We hope people living locally will come along and join us for future sessions – it’s free, fun and a great way to meet new people.
“We’ll be hosting activities every month, with something for everyone, whatever their interests and abilities. From exercise classes to laughter yoga, adapted sports and games to singing classes and social get-togethers for a cuppa and chat and reminiscence sessions.”
Haddon House Care Home is located in Lord Haddon Road, Ilkeston and provides nursing dementia care.
