A new wellbeing initiative at Ladywood care home in Ilkeston has proved a fantastic success amongst Residents living at the home.
Ladywood has introduced a new exercise class for Residents to help promote their physical activity and consequently benefit their mental wellbeing.
The chair-based exercises involve Residents carrying out their exercise regime to popular musical tracks played in the home, as they were handed colourful props to wave around to the rhythm.
Residents who were not able to join in with the activity enjoyed watching as the others exercised and happily sat listening to the music.
The Wake up the Week class went down a treat with Residents, as Janice said: “I loved it, I am wide awake now!”
