Residents at Lake View were delighted to welcome students from their local college for a special wellness pamper day.
Throughout the visit, residents were treated to mini manicures as well as soothing hand and arm massages. The conservatory provided a lovely setting for the session, with photographs showing students set up and working with residents in a calm, friendly atmosphere. Images capture residents relaxing into their treatments throughout the home, including one gentleman smiling after his massage and others enjoying hand and arm massages with their eyes closed in contentment.
As well as being relaxing, the visit was a wonderful opportunity for conversation and connection. Residents and students spent time chatting together, with stories, experiences and memories shared throughout the day. The students received many compliments from residents, who clearly appreciated both their care and their company. One particularly cheerful photograph shows a gentleman laughing while two students massage his hands, reflecting the warmth and good humour of the day.
Many residents said they felt relaxed and revived after their treatments and would be very happy to welcome the students back again. To round off the experience, some of the ladies enjoyed a glass of bubbly, adding an extra touch of celebration, with photographs showing smiles, raised glasses and a relaxed end to the day.
At Lake View, it was a thoughtful and enjoyable wellbeing session that brought comfort, confidence and lovely intergenerational connection.
