At Oaklands Rest Home we have a lifestyle co-ordinator that tailors an activities program for each service user. A key aspect of coordinating our activities is to ensure there is variety in the programme of daily events.

Relatives can login to the system offering details to the life story and with suggestions of stimulus which will interest their loved ones, as it is important to think about the specific interests of the individual residents living in the care home. The system can then search the internet for pictures, music and videos all relating to that persons profile engaging with Resident’s who before have struggled for a connection.
From helping feed and look after the chickens, to Arts & Crafts our resident’s can participate as much or as little as they so wish.
