Exercise Area
Supporting Mobility, Confidence & Wellbeing for Life
At Park View Care Home, we know that staying active is key to maintaining physical and emotional wellbeing — especially for people living with dementia and older adults.
Our dedicated Exercise Area provides a safe, welcoming space where residents of all abilities can enjoy movement, build strength, and maintain confidence in their bodies.
Far more than just a physical space, our Exercise Area is part of Park View’s commitment to helping every person live life fully and actively — no matter their age or diagnosis.
Designed for All Abilities
The Exercise Area has been thoughtfully equipped to support a wide range of needs, with a focus on gentle, achievable activity that enhances mobility and reduces risk of falls.
Facilities include:
Strength and resistance equipment — supporting muscle maintenance and bone health
Balance and stability aids — helping residents build confidence and coordination
Seated exercise options — ideal for those with limited mobility or recovering from illness
Stretching and flexibility zones — promoting circulation, posture, and overall wellbeing
The space is fully dementia-friendly, with clear layout, accessible equipment, and warm, inviting décor.
