At Foxhunters Care Community, we believe in promoting a
healthy lifestyle and positive wellbeing, whatever your age or ability. We
believe that an active life means an active mind, and we work with our
residents to help you stay as active and independent as possible. Even if
you’re not quite as mobile as you once were, our onsite fitness, rehabilitation
and wellness expert will work with you to create tailored a programme that
matches your needs. Here are a few of the ways that we encourage an active and
independent lifestyle at Foxhunters.
1. Onsite fitness suite and exercise
programmes
Foxhunters Care Community has an onsite gym, with specially
designed equipment to help older people keep active and mobile. Our onsite fitness expert has
experience in working with people with degenerative joint diseases and hip or
knee problems and will work with you to slowly rebuild these problem areas
through tailored fitness programmes. We also hold regular fitness classes and
therapy sessions, making fitness and wellbeing a fun and social activity.
2. Daily activity programmes
We offer a daily programme of activities to keep our
residents active and entertained. All the activities we run are driven by the
interests of our residents, giving them the chance to get back into old hobbies
or try something completely new. Some of our regular activities include art and
music therapy, pet therapy, fitness classes, various outings and anything else
requested by our residents.
3. Gardening club
Gardening has been proven to boost health and wellbeing in
care homes and for some, it’s highly therapeutic. The Foxhunters gardening club
is for green fingered residents who would like to get involved with maintaining
the gardens in the care community. We’ve installed raised flowerbeds throughout
the gardens, so residents can tend to the flowers with ease and we also have
wheelchair friendly paths right the way round, to ensure that everyone can get
involved. We believe it’s a fantastic way for residents to stay active and
healthy, whilst doing something they love.
4. Trips out with our complementary chauffeur
service
We encourage our residents to be as independent as possible
and offer a complementary chauffeuring service 7 days a week for residents to enjoy
day trips out to the local towns, villages, seaside or anywhere else they would
like to visit. You might even have a family party nearby that you don’t want to
miss. There is plenty of space for you to invite friends and family along with
you on your trips and the car is also wheelchair friendly, so all our residents
can enjoy the service.
5. Personalised rooms
We don’t believe in clinical and institutionalised care home
environments. We think an important part of keeping your independence is having
the option to create a personalised living space, filled with cherished items.
At Foxhunters Care Community, residents can choose to leave their rooms unfurnished,
so that they can fill it themselves with familiar and sentimental items from
home. This creates a more personal and independent living space for our
residents to enjoy.
