Playing catch and other ball games

Our residents loved playing one of their favourite games last week – using an inflatable football. This is a brilliant way to both exercise and have lots of fun! Everyone loved getting involved throwing, catching and kicking the ball. Our volunteer Avril helped us out and everyone just had fun; it was a great way to get our arms and legs moving. We encourage our residents to do mild exercise as it releases endorphins, lifts mood and makes everyone more positive and alert. Pam Crawley, our Registered Manager said “at the end of the exercise our residents go away laughing, joking, chatting with each other, and feeling a lot more confident in themselves.”
