Led by one of the residents who wanted to improve his body strength, McGowan Court now has an exercise bike and an air walker, which are being well-used. The staff hope to encourage more residents to use them, as a step towards attending a gym.
McGowan Court is also trying out coconut oil and a George Foreman grill as a healthy, cholesterol-free alternative to frying pans and oil for those residents who self-cater. It has been a great success and has been used to cook all sorts!
