RESIDENTS at HC-One’s Meadow Bank House Care Home in Bolton, Manchester, are staying active and uplifted after a special weekly exercise session led by head of housekeeping Maria Petevinou.
Maria joined the team in July 2021 and plays a vital role ensuring a clean, safe and comfortable environment for residents, colleagues, and visitors is maintained at Meadow Bank House.
However, her responsibilities go beyond the role of routine cleaning, as she also maintains the overall wellbeing in the home. Each week Maria brings her energy and enthusiasm to a fun, engaging fitness session designed to promote physical activity and boost residents’ wellbeing.
Her sessions have quickly become a highlight on the home’s activity calendar, providing a mix of movement, motivation, and smiles. From maracas to pom poms, there is something for every resident to entertain themselves and move along to the rhythm to.
Manager Jincy Lukose said: “Maria is a real inspiration. She goes above and beyond her housekeeping duties to make a meaningful difference in our residents’ lives. These weekly sessions are not just good for the body, but for the soul too.
“These initiatives reflect our team’s commitment to supporting residents in living active, fulfilled lives through person-centred care and community spirit.”
