Mick has been working with our fitness enthusiasts for over a year now and he often says we are the best class he has in terms fitness, strength and of course enthusiasm. Twice a week between 7-12 people join the class. The core fitness fanatics are of Kay, Betty, Harry, Dennis, Rene, Reg, John and Meg and they have been joined recently by Ron. Stiff joints or not they get together twice a week to stretch, have fun and stay fit!  Just in case anyone thinks this is easy going chair exercise – the exercises are no different to those Mick has in his other classes with younger people and our residents tend to be fitter and more flexible than our staff!

People in Rose Lodge care for others arounds them. Ron helping John when getting back from the beach. John looking after Meg on the terrace, taking her to look a the flowers and sitting in the sun with her. 

Ethel and Ethne love being out in the garden soaking up the sun and the sounds of spring. Today they were the last two standing ……..

Ladies at work on Tuesday. Betty and Kay got immediately busy with this enormous bunch if flowers we received on Tuesday and Ethne joined them too with a spectacular arrangement. The tables look beautiful ladies, thank you.

our early morning walks tend to attract Dennis, Reg, Harry, Rene, John and Gerry. A quick trip to the beach regardless of the wind is favoured
