RESIDENTS at HC-One’s Silverwood in Sunnyside, Rotherham, have been making use of the care home’s hair and beauty salon and staff have been enhancing their skills to make everyone feel relaxed and pampered.
Hairdresser Pam Hawksworth and in-house wellbeing coordinator Wendy Benson recently spent the day in the salon at the residential and residential dementia care home.
They had many visitors, including Joyce Earmshaw, 99, and Marjorie Brailsford, 94, as they received manicures and had their hair styled.
Pam has worked at Silverwood on a Tuesday and Wednesday for the last three years. She enjoys interacting with staff and residents as well as making use of the facilities.
Wendy has been learning to do manicures, and residents love to try out her colours and designs. Pam visits the home weekly, and always makes residents feel and look their very best.
When in the salon, the record player came out and played songs from years gone by. Residents enjoyed picking the songs they enjoy, and there was even a joint singalong too.
Wendy said: “The ladies really look forward to these salon sessions every week. We thought we would also introduce something a bit different with the music player and them choosing the old LPs to play. It really gave the salon that extra buzz.”
