Parkinson’s Disease Simple Gentle Movement Routines
🌟 Welcome to Wellness Wednesday by Langdale Care Homes! 🌟 This week, we are focusing on Parkinson’s Disease, a progressive neurological condition that affects movement. Common symptoms include tremors, stiffness, slowness of movement, and challenges with balance. These symptoms can make daily tasks more difficult, but incorporating gentle exercises into a routine can help manage mobility and flexibility. Today’s spotlight is Simple Gentle Movement Routines for Parkinson’s Disease. Regular, low-impact exercises can help reduce stiffness, improve coordination, and promote overall well-being. Here are a few simple movements you can try: 1. Hand Exercises: Simple opening and closing of hands helps reduce stiffness and improve dexterity. 2. Slow Stretches: Focus on slow, controlled movements to relax the body and ease tension. 3. Seated Arm Raises: Low-impact arm raises promote mobility without causing strain. These exercises are designed to be safe and supportive, helping to maintain flexibility and improve balance. Regular movement not only strengthens the body but also nurtures emotional well-being, fostering independence and comfort. At Langdale Care Homes, we are dedicated to supporting our residents with exercises tailored to their abilities. Regular movement not only strengthens the body but also nurtures mental well-being.

Langdale Voices of Dementia – Leanne Belmonte, Carer and Activities Coordinator, Sutton in the Elms
🌟 Langdale Voices of Dementia – Leanne Belmonte, Carer and Activities Coordinator, Sutton in the Elms 🌟 In honour of World Alzheimer's Month 2024 and this year's theme, Time to Act on Dementia, Time to Act on Alzheimer's, we're proud to feature our dedicated staff who provide compassionate care to residents with Dementia. Today, we hear from Leanne Belmonte, who serves as both a Carer and Activities Coordinator at Sutton in the Elms, where she plays a vital role in planning engaging, personalised activities that support the well-being of our residents with Dementia. Let's hear Leanne's insightful answers to the questions we asked her about dementia care: How do you tailor your care for residents living with Dementia? "Millions of people develop Dementia before reaching old age, which leads to a loss of cognitive functions, causing disorientation. To support them, I make sure I truly understand each resident's family history, interests, likes, dislikes, and even old friendships before planning activities. For instance, using old photographs or engaging in activities like dancing, singing, artwork, or even a trip to the park can significantly enhance their well-being. These personalised activities help ease their fears and frustrations, bringing joy and excitement. It's all about connecting with them and giving them the love, understanding, and compassion they need to feel secure and hopeful." What do you want the world to know about living with Dementia? "Dementia affects people of all ages, races, and backgrounds. It's essential to raise awareness and reduce cognitive decline while respecting their rights and choices. We need to provide programmes that support their progression and improve brain acuity. Empathy and understanding can make a world of difference." At Langdale Care Homes, we are committed to person-centred care that celebrates each resident's individuality. Thank you, Leanne, for your dedication and for reminding us all that every moment
