Harley Grange residential and nursing care home, in Leicester, has been focussed on getting up and about moving to the scheduled virtual gym sessions.
Today Residents completed a Burns gym session and it was amazing to see one Resident, 97 year old Lilian participate in the class. She was so enthusiastic and showed everyone up with her energy. It just goes to show that no matter what age you are, you are able to exercise and give everything a good go.
Lilian said that she felt like she was back dancing whilst participating in the class and could not stop laughing at the staff as they joined in.
She remarked, “Some of these dance moves are like ‘Saturday Night Fever’!”
Anne Upton, Care Home Manager, said, “The Residents enjoyed getting active in the morning and being able to see other homes on the screen while doing it. It was lovely to see everyone so active!”
