A Wonderful Autumn Day at Lee Mount

Autumn at Lee Mount is always something special — a season where nature’s colours inspire creativity, togetherness, and warm-hearted memories. At Lee Mount, we recently enjoyed a truly magical autumn day — filled with creativity, connection, and community spirit. 🎨 Crafting with Heart Our morning began with seasonal arts and crafts, where residents painted a giant tree and decorated it with vibrant autumn leaves. This wasn’t just any tree — it’s part of our ongoing Positive Tree project, where uplifting words and ideas are added to inspire smiles every day. 🧺 Picnic in the Park With the golden sun warming our faces, we headed to the park for a relaxing picnic. Residents and staff shared delicious lunch, friendly conversations, and the joy of fresh autumn air with neighbours from the community. 📖 Stories that Bring History to Life Back at home, Howard took us on a fascinating journey through Halifax’s past, sharing tales of some of the area’s most famous figures. 🌿 A Touch of Gardening Joy To finish the day, Susan and a few residents gave our garden a seasonal spruce-up — adding a little extra beauty to our home. 💛 A Day to Remember It was a day full of laughter, sunshine, and cherished moments — exactly the kind of days we treasure at Lee Mount.

Resistance Band Exercise Session at a Care Home

Resistance bands offer low-impact strength training that supports daily activities like sit-to-stand transfers and walking. They help counter age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia) and may even improve bone density through gentle loading effects.

Physical Strength, Mobility & Fall Prevention

Resistance band workouts are highly effective for seniors:
  • They help preserve muscle mass and combat sarcopenia, improving independence in daily tasks like standing or walking.
  • Bands deliver low-impact resistance—gentle on joints while building bone density and strength.
  • Regular resistance training improves balance and stability, reducing falls.
  • Clinical studies report significant gains in walking speed, endurance, and single-leg balance after weeks of elastic band exercise.

Cognitive & Emotional Well‑Being

  • Physical exercise supports mental health—boosting mood, self-esteem, and cognitive function.
  • Structured group activity encourages social interaction, decreases loneliness, and builds community.
  • In participants with dementia, resistance training often improves attention, communication, and day‑to‑day engagement.
