Care home aims to boost residents’ welfare
A CARE home in Burbage has appointed a new wellbeing manager to boost social interaction and engagement between residents.
George Dewis, who has eight years working in the care sector, joins Moat House in the newly created position.
He will work with three new activity co-ordinators - one of which is yet to be hired - to organise a range of events and trips.
Mr Dewis said: “I’m very much looking forward to enhancing and building on the diverse programme of meaningful activities already being provided here at Moat House.
“Together with the three activity co-ordinators, who do everything from organising day trips to leading armchair exercise sessions to inviting local community groups to come in and engage with residents, I’m excited about the difference we can all make.”
Dave Lock, from Adept Care Homes which runs the centre, added: “Social interaction and meaningful engagement are genuinely at the heart of all our homes.
“We’ve created the new wellbeing manager role to really ensure all residents have access to a fun and varied social programme as well as to provide support for their physical and emotional wellbeing.
“We welcome George to our team and are already inspired by some of his ideas for engaging residents, our team and the local community, to make residents lives as fulfilled as possible.”
