Activities

Healthy bodies and healthy minds go hand in hand in our opinion. As such, we actively encourage all sorts of activities, be they physical or otherwise.

Our service users take part in all manner of sporting activities such as basketball, swimming, yoga, tennis and work outs at the gym, as well as weekly dance classes, cinema, meals out, festivals etc etc – really anything they would like to do, we can accommodate.

Through these types of activities, we can see many positive outcomes, but most importantly a greater sense of self esteem and belonging.

Furthermore these activities can facilitate personal growth – teaching independence – supporting our service users from the smallest cooking sessions to going to college and getting paid employment.

Take a look at some photographs from fun days, both in and out!

A Day in the Life of a Service User

To follow is an excerpt from the support plan of one of our service users and gives a brief insight into how he spends his days alongside the Unified Care carers.

“On Mondays  (RC) is supported with personal care , medication and breakfast. He supports staff to tidy his room and gets ready to go to the gym.  The health and wellbeing of our service users is paramount and they are supported to do regular exercise. Following a workout RC then goes for lunch out in the community with his support worker. Later in the afternoon RC meets up with other service users for a dance session at the community centre where he has a fantastic time. He gets back home in the evening where he have dinner with other service users and help to wash dishes and tidy the kitchen. He later relaxes in the living room watching a movie with his friends before going to bed.”

 

As you can see, “RC” lives a full and active life and loves every day. We are proud to be able to assist him in living this life.
