One-to-one at home

I tailor make programmes for individuals living at home by helping them engage with the activities and interests that they enjoy.

Depending on confidence, ability and how people feel emotionally, interests and outings are tailor made around their wishes and aspirations to build towards living life to the full.

For a variety of reasons some clients may not have the confidence to pursue interests or venture into the community but with my support and encouragement this can be gently introduced and built upon.

Examples of home based activities have included arts and crafts, seated exercises, cooking, reminiscence, flower arranging, learning a basic language, Tai Chi and Qigong based movement and mobility and more. However, sometimes clients enjoy just chatting and having that social interaction and a cuppa!

Outings with clients have taken us as far as the Kelpies in Falkirk to the beautiful walled garden at Archerfield, East Lothian. Other examples are parks, the Botanics, garden centres, art galleries, coffee shops and beaches.

Being out with clients also enables us to chat with people in the community, which is important to help us feel connected to the world around us.
