A blend of relaxation and gentle activity was enjoyed by staff and residents at Holywell House with a series of pamper sessions and chair‑based exercise classes led by Janet and Anna. These uplifting activities helped brighten the winter days and offered residents the chance to unwind, socialise and focus on their wellbeing.
The pamper sessions were a particular highlight. Soft music and calming scents created a peaceful atmosphere where residents could enjoy soothing hand massages, light skincare treatments and warm conversation. Many spoke about how comforting it felt to take a moment for themselves, and the sessions encouraged relaxation, confidence and a sense of being cared for.
Alongside the pampering, Janet and Anna led chair‑based exercise classes designed to keep residents active in a safe and enjoyable way. The sessions were filled with laughter and gentle encouragement as residents stretched, moved and followed along at their own pace. Chair exercises support mobility, balance and overall health, and the enthusiasm in the room showed just how much residents valued the opportunity to stay active.
The combination of relaxation and movement created a warm and positive atmosphere throughout the home. Residents chatted, shared smiles and enjoyed the sense of togetherness that these activities inspired. Staff members supported the sessions and joined in the fun, helping to make the experience inclusive and enjoyable for everyone.
As Holywell House looks ahead to the rest of the year, the success of these winter sessions sets a hopeful tone. The team remains committed to offering activities that enrich daily life, promote wellbeing and celebrate the individuality of every resident. The pamper and exercise sessions were a reminder that even the simplest moments can bring joy, comfort and connection.
