Armchair exercise
Keeping fit and mentally agile is more important than ever for our sense of well-being, and the team at Sonya Lodge Residential Care Home know just how to keep the fun in fitness!
Last week, our residents enjoyed a morning of armchair exercise to a Joe Wicks chair-based workout – donning retro arm bands and head bands too!
Giant parachute and ball games
Our residents had a great laugh while playing ball games with the giant parachute recently; the balls flying everywhere had us all in fits and giggles! We also had a few games of catch with a soft ball – all of which require good hand-to-eye coordination – great for keeping us sharp.
Sensory session
Thank you Jo, our Well-being Champion, who kindly brought in a range of fresh vegetables and herbs from her back garden to use in a sensory exploration session with our ladies and gents.
Our residents took it in turn to touch and smell a bunch of carrots, a sprig of lavender, freshly picked mint, a sprig of parsley and samples of rosemary, chives and thyme. The different textures and fragrances were very interesting and a treat for the senses!
