Engagement and Wellbeing

Morecambe Care recognises that engagement beyond primary routine practice is an important indicator of exceptional care. By fostering a vision that looks at the ‘whole person’, we never lose sight of the importance of meaningful occupation within a care home setting. Whether its presented on a one-to-one basis or as part of a larger group, the more cognitively and functionally dependent an individual is, the more meaningful their life becomes.

Each of our homes offer individuals the opportunity to participate in an enriching lifestyle programme that focuses on the holistic benefits of each type of engagement. In addition to in-home occupation, Morecambe Care strives to facilitate a relationship with each of our homes respective communities. Morecambe Care nurtures and cultivates initiates to help develop friendships with neighbouring schools, nurseries, museums, and even football clubs.

Engagement with the Wider Community
Further to the engagement in our homes, Morecambe Care facilitates a relationship with each of our respective communities through a number of visitation programmes. Whether it’s through garden centres and museums or football clubs, cafes and theatres, maintaining links beyond our living environments is extremely important.

As part of this group-wide commitment to stimulating interactions with the wider community, almost every one of our homes has nurtured positive relationships on an intergenerational spectrum. From nurseries and pre-schools to students at college and university, the value of bridging the generation gap and bringing together people from different generations continues to stimulate positive outcomes in those involved.
