A new year is the perfect time for positive change! This January, residents at Country Court Care & Nursing Homes have been embracing ‘Wellness for the New Year’, exploring a variety of ways to support their well-being.
At Ruby Lodge Care Home in Thirsk, residents enjoyed a soothing spa day, complete with a visit from a local nail technician and a warm foot spa. The day ended with a creative session of painting, drawing, and listening to relaxing music.
Over at Selwood House Care Home near Dorchester, residents indulged in a pamper day, which offered much-needed relaxation, eased tension, and revitalized both body and mind.
At Fenchurch House, residents not only enjoyed a rejuvenating pamper session but also introduced Pilates into their weekly routine. Well-being Coordinator Mihaela shared:

Meditation sessions at Lostock Lodge encouraged residents to stop and take time for themselves. They followed simple breathing techniques to help them relax. The Namaste sessions took a holistic approach, focusing on all the senses. People enjoyed hand and head massages, while the room was filled with a beautiful, relaxing lavender fragrance and soothing music played in the background.
