Mulberry Court is committed to continuing the health and well-being of its residents by offering engaging and enjoyable activities that promote movement and social connection. On the 1st of February, the care home hosted a fun and active morning, featuring gentle chair exercises followed by an exciting balloon game that brought laughter and joy to all participants.
Bhashia J, Lifestyle Coordinator at Mulberry Court, shared, “We are always looking for creative ways to keep our residents active and engaged. The balloon game added a fun twist to the gentle chair exercises, helping everyone feel energised and motivated. Our goal is to make exercise enjoyable and accessible for all, and this event was a great example of that.”
Resident Beral commented, “It’s really refreshing to start the morning with some movement. The balloon game made it even more fun.”
The event kicked off with gentle chair exercises designed to improve mobility, flexibility, and overall well-being. Following the exercises, residents participated in the balloon game, where they used sticks to tap, chase, and keep balloons in the air. The lively game encouraged participation and created a sense of excitement and camaraderie among residents.
Regular exercise is essential for maintaining both physical and mental health, especially for older adults. By integrating playful elements like the balloon game, Mulberry Court ensures that fitness activities are both engaging and accessible to all residents.
The idea for this event was developed by Mulberry Court’s Lifestyle Coordinators, who are always exploring new ways to incorporate fun and movement into daily routines. The event created a vibrant atmosphere filled with laughter, reinforcing the community spirit of the home.
Mulberry Court, part of the Runwood Homes group, remains dedicated to the health, happiness, and well-being of its residents, offering a variety of activities designed to keep both body and mind active.
