ARCH Summer 2022

RESIDENT WELLBEING

Our care home Inspire programme is designed to drive continual improvements in our services – with our residents at the heart of everything. There are four themes of Care Practice, Food and Nutrition, Environment and Wellness.

Diving into the Wellness theme, our homes have a jam-packed calendar of activities including some big initiatives that we encourage everyone to join in with. This year we’ve already seen big hits with #JuiceintoJanuary and #AnchorGames, and as we went to print, festivals of all types were taking place across the country. There are also those little moments of joy throughout the day - a chat, a dance, a joke or a walk around the garden, to give just some examples.

This autumn, our homes will be celebrating the #PowerOfMusic so expect lots of musical fun, choirs, performances and song writing. And everyone can get involved. So if you’re a colleague in Central Support, how about you find out what your nearest care homes are doing and go along to help out. Or if you work in our Housing Service, would your residents like to start a choir too? Find out more on The Bridge and Workplace.
