Manchester care home introduces new relaxation loungeSometimes all you need is a little peach and quiet. A calming place to gather your thoughts, close your eyes and relax. And it isn’t very often that people get to do this, so Colleagues at Westwood Lodge care home, on Helmsman Way, set up one of the quiet lounges as a relaxation lounge for all staff.

The team can then recuperate and be at full operation for the next tasks. The lounge is for Colleagues who may need to just take five minutes out of their working day to relax and have a minute to themselves.

One Colleague remarked, “The lights, calming music and lavender mist is so calming and relaxing”.

Home Manager, Lorraine Young, commented, “We want to look after our team and make sure that they do take a minute here and there. Working in a care home can be ‘hustle and bustle’, so we want to allow everyone to take a breather when they need it.”
