Aromatherapy bath benefits our residents

//  by 

Residents at our care home in Exmouth have been able to once again enjoy all the benefits of a warm bath thanks to a brand new state of the art Transcare Bath.  The highly versatile bath enables patients to experience the therapeutic benefits of massage which can help enhance blood circulation, reduce pain, improve posture and encourage an overall sense of well-being.  With the added features of colour choices to promote feelings of well-being and increased vitality, the inclusion of aromatherapy is a wonderful way to treat symptoms of illnesses or just to help promote relaxation.  The accompanying music features proves to be very soothing for all our clients whilst enjoying a warm relaxing bath.  Another hugely beneficial feature of this product is the ability to semi recline the bath so that our residents are able to enjoy being semi-reclined whilst fully immersed neck deep in water.

Summerleaze Residents offer advice for the future

Summerleaze Residents offer advice for the future 

Residents of Summerleaze Residential Home buried a time capsule in the grounds of their home, with the help of four year old Peter Covell with his dad Mike.

Residents from an Exmouth care home helped organise the burial of a time capsule.

Buried at Summerleaze Residential Home, in Salterton Road, last week, it included stamps, a pen, coins, mobile phone and newspapers.

Mike Covell, the home owner, said: “It was decided to compile a selection of items typical of the present, but which they felt would become history in the not too distant future. They also wrote a letter to the people of the future with a little advice from the present and detailing their hopes for the years to come.”

The project was facilitated by Sue Moore, a holistic therapist. Residents are hoping the time capsule will not be dug up for at least 50 years.
