Meet Sue and Lucy Barlow

 

"I launched the business in September 2008 following the wonderful opportunity given to me by an inheritance from my great aunt. The business is a tribute to her and the values she represented."

 

"My training and admin skills from working in an HR department, many years of voluntary work with the elderly and people with learning disabilities, together with a keen interest in health and fitness have made this the ideal business for me."

 

"I currently work in 20 Care Homes in and around Reading, Bracknell, Basingstoke and Newbury helped by my daughter Lucy, and the business is growing at a steady rate. Lucy is a trained dancer and puts to good use her performance skills plus her knowledge of anatomy."

 

"Our classes are great fun but particularly noteworthy is the unique structure of the Motivation Class which is proving strikingly effective in our Dementia Units."

 

 

Testimonials

 

>>Carolyn Padwick, Deputy Manager, Jasmine House, Reading

 

"Sue's Motivation Class is very enjoyable, and everyone benefits in their own way; if not from the mental stimulation section then from the exercises, games, and music. Sue takes the time to develop a rapport with each resident so that she becomes a familiar and reassuring person visiting the home. "

 

>>Premila Juggurnauth, Deputy Manager, The Boltons, Reading

 

"Sue's Motivation Classes are a lot of fun. The residents are sleepy when Sue arrives but soon in a party mood and wide awake by the time she leaves. The classes encourage good group interaction. "

 

>>Fiona Honeyman, Manager, Lovat House, Wokingham

 

"The residents really look forward to Sue's Motivation Classes. Sue's approach to the residents, and her knowledge of their individual needs is excellent. "

 

>>Anne Davies, Deputy Manager, Parkview, Reading
