Carla’s Activities Afternoon

A group of elderly people sit in chairs, raising their arms during activities led by instructor Carla in a bright exercise room.

We set up an amazing activitives afternoon with Carla to get our resdients stretching. The active sessions we offer are important to keep everyone moving and engaging. Getting competetive and testing their co-ordination is a brilliant way to do this. Moving and stretching offer numerous benefits, improving physical and mental well-being. Regular movement enhances flexibility, range of motion, and muscle health, while stretching can reduce stress, ease back pain, and improve posture. These activities also contribute to better mood amogst our residents.

Three elderly women enjoy activities with Carla, seated in armchairs holding colourful racquets, while a pink balloon rests on the floor. One woman playfully holds her racquet in front of her face.
Four elderly women sit in armchairs using plastic racquets to hit balloons, while another person—Carla—stands facing them, facilitating engaging activities with them.

Carla is just fantastic! As well as instructing she also ensures that everyone involved is enjoying their afternoon. This helps Abbeyfield Hoylake and West Kirby provide a safe, happy and caring envirnment. She uses props such as tennis rackets, balloons and hoops which challenges our residents and most of all puts a smile on their faces.

Thank you Carla for providing a brilliant activity afternoon!
