Barbara Cox, specialist health consultant and Head of Wellbeing at Platinum Skies, says: “Our ethos at Platinum Skies is health, wealth and happiness and this is at the very core of our lifestyle offering. As the Head of Wellbeing, I overlook our different bistro sites and the menu options making sure that they are nutritious and delicious and to your liking. We have a massive variety of food on the menu, as well as great seasonal produce from local suppliers.”
Barbara added: “We also plan events throughout the year that our all connected to health, wealth and happiness. We have anything from herb gardening, gentle exercise, nutritional talks and healthy cooking classes. A real variety and planned throughout the year. So, I’m super proud to be part of Platinum Skies and providing thought from the wellness world and actions into the full Platinum Skies community. At Platinum Skies, we aim to promote an understanding of food seasons. Each month we focus on a few ingredients, which are currently in season, and share enlightening facts, useful tips and an enticing recipe for you to try at home or eat at one of our bistros.”
But it’s not just about nutrition and the right food choices. Maintaining an active social life has many health benefits.
Being part of a community could help to beat feelings of loneliness and isolation. Figures from Age UK, place more than two million people in England over the age of 75 as living alone, and more than a million older people say they go for over a month without speaking to a friend, neighbour or family member.
It’s important to remember that loneliness can affect anyone, of any age. This is why at all Platinum Skies locations there is an on-site Lifestyle Manager helping to build a dynamic community as well as offering support to each of the residents.
Many of the sites offer a spectacular private lounge, treatment rooms and an activity studio. Platinum Skies residents can choose to take advantage of a range of exercise and wellness classes organised by their dedicated Lifestyle Manager.
Mike Lyons, Operations Director at Platinum Skies says: “Every development has a dedicated on-site Lifestyle Manager, who as well as devising a programme of residents’ activities, assists them individually on a day-to-day basis. Whether that’s organising an introduction with a new neighbour, or setting up FaceTime with the grandchildren, they are there to help each resident to enjoy a fulfilled and active retirement.”
Mike added: “With a mix of social activities, days out and health related activity, there is something for everyone. We offer sessions such as yoga, pilates and tai chi, all held in the resident’s communal ‘studio’ or out on to the large terrace over the warmer months.”
