Gentle Pilates, Big Smiles: A Soothing Session for Our Residents

What a calm and comfy afternoon we had! On 4th September, our residents enjoyed a relaxing class led by a trained Pilates teacher.
There were gentle stretches, soothing breathing, and plenty of smiles all round. 💙

These sessions are especially helpful for residents living with dementia — they can ease anxiety, lift mood, support better sleep, and keep bodies moving in a safe, gentle way. The steady rhythm and guided breathing also bring a lovely sense of comfort and reassurance.

Huge thanks to our wonderful instructor for making it so peaceful and inclusive. We’re already looking forward to the next one! 🌿✨

🎓 Waterloo Care Staff Training Update

This week, we welcomed a Dietetic Practitioner from our local NHS Trust who delivered our first nutrition & hydration training session for the Waterloo Care Home team. It was brilliant and packed with practical learning that helped us support our residents even better. 💙

What we covered:

• 🥣 Malnutrition – recognising the signs and taking early action
• 💧 Dehydration – spotting risks and keeping everyone well-hydrated
• 📏 MUST (Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool) – how and when we used it confidently
• 🍽️ Diet in Diabetes – safer choices and smart swaps
• 🌼 Nutrition & Hydration in Palliative Care – comfort-focused support
• 🧈 Fortified Diets – simple ways we added calories and protein
• 💊 Supplements – where they supported malnutrition
• 🍲 Texture-modified foods & 🥤 thickened fluids – when and how we used them safely

We even rolled up our sleeves to make and taste a variety of fortified shakes 🥤 — and they went down a treat!

A huge thank you to our NHS colleagues for sharing their expertise and to our wonderful staff for their enthusiasm and questions. This training strengthened our skills so we can continue to deliver personalised, safe and dignified care every day. 🌟

If you’d like to learn more about life at Waterloo Care Home or our approach to nutrition, send us a message — we’d love to chat. 😊
