Making the most of a relaxing day

Some of our residents enjoyed a lovely spa treat this week. We often have spa and pamper days which all residents are welcome to join and participate in but for this session we wanted to specially focus on those residents that don’t leave their room and socialize with others as much as other residents do.

Each resident has specific care needs and also very different preferences, so we always cater to their needs and ensure care is provided in a way that’ll benefit them the most.

Zahra Karimi, our deputy manager at West Farm, said: “This week, we offered personalised one to one pamper sessions to residents who have a more reserved nature and prefer their own company to lots of socialising in our communal areas.

“We really did go all out and provided a relaxing special spa treatment. Such activities hugely reduce any anxiety or stress that residents might be feeling especially as they’re not able to see their loved ones in person currently.

“It was so lovely to see how much residents enjoyed this very special pamper and relaxed thoroughly not just during it but for the remaining of the day too. It’s so nice to be able to spend considerable quality time with individual residents and see the benefits this has on them – we really do have one of the most rewarding jobs in the world.”
