This simple game is not just about fun; it’s a valuable form of physical exercise that brings multiple benefits to our residents, particularly those with dementia.
The Significance of Regular Exercise at Waterloo Care Home

- Social Interaction
The group activities at Waterloo Care Home transcend physical health benefits; they serve as social gatherings that help alleviate loneliness and build strong community bonds among residents.
