What else do the Warden Service provide?
Wardens in our Sheltered Housing Schemes have been specially trained keeping residents, their friends, in fact any older person wishing to join in - fit and healthy. This is known as GEM Get Everyone Motivated. Fun and Games are part of keeping the mobile and the less mobile involved in various activities, throwing and catching a ball, co-ordination tasks, singing and creating dance routines. For the less mobile, simple movements such as ankle and wrist rotation, gentle leg lifts and stretching. Many of those who take part in Gem find it is sociable and fun, members are not overstretched and your exercise routine is specially tailored to you.
GEM exercises the mind as well as the body - laughter and fun are key elements.
For information on how you or a friend or relative can get involved in the GEM classes, contact the office on
