Activities
Hello, firstly let me introduce myself, my name is Sarah and I have just started as an Activity Coordinator here at the Old Malthouse.
I have been in the care
sector for over 40yrs, some of that is through the management of care homes to owning my own Domiciliary care company.
I have been in the Activities sector for 15yrs and had my own Activity company providing & creating Activities for care homes.
As an activity coordinator
we see the many positive impacts that activities have on the residents. … Activities also provide the residents with a purpose, whether it is on 1-1 basis or in a group setting.
When we (as activity
coordinators) have the opportunity and the ability to provide meaningful activities to the residents, we start to see closer bonds being formed with other residents and ourselves through shared
experiences, it also provides emotional wellbeing, empowerment, confidence and positivity to the residents through a sense of belonging and achievement.
I am very passionate about my work, and I hope to have a positive impact at the Old Malthouse Care home.
