Residents in a care home have enjoyed a morning of fun exercise and healthy treats as they opened a new community club. 

St Catherine’s Care Home in Horwich enjoyed the fun-filled event on Tuesday, April 2, as it launched its "Four Seasons Feel Good Club".

St Catherine’s Care Home, located on Queen Street, provides residential, nursing, palliative and dementia care.

The club aims to bring residents, carers, family members and people living in the larea the opportunity to get together for a series of feel-good activities throughout the year.

Residents and guests enjoyed an exercise session using homemade balloon dumbbells and played a game of volleyball, all from the comfort of their armchairs.

After the games, the care home’s chef cooked up a range of pudding-inspired smoothies, including carrot cake, key lime pie, strawberry shortcake and apple pie with residents taking part in a taste test, trying to guess the flavours.

Margaret, a resident at the care home said: “I really enjoyed the morning and testing out all the smoothies. It’s great to find out what’s good for you.”

Patrick, another resident at the care home said: "That was such fun, it's good to get our bodies moving.”

Cara Ferri, the care home’s magic moments coordinator, said: “Our new Four Seasons Feel Good Club is proving to be a real hit with our residents and includes a wide range of activities to benefit the mind, body and soul.

“The club is open to everyone, so it’s a great way to keep our residents connected to their local community.

“We hope people living locally will come along and join us for future sessions – it’s free, fun and a great way to meet new people.

“We’ll be hosting activities every month, with something for everyone, whatever their interests and abilities.
