Our care homes are different
They are places of passion and purpose, of connection and excitement, somewhere to fuel the imagination and to spark an appetite for life. At Renaissance Care, we’ve created a joyful, dynamic community where wellbeing is prioritised, and life is celebrated every single day.
What does wellbeing mean?
To us, it means nurturing every aspect of our residents’ lives - physical, emotional, spiritual, and practical. It’s about uncovering their passions and providing meaningful experiences that inspire and engage.
By working together and maintaining personal connections with the people, communities, and interests that matter most, we believe your time in your new home will be filled with laughter, fun, and love.
What is an activities coordinator?
Our wellbeing leads, formerly known as activities coordinators, take pride in planning and facilitating meaningful experiences and stimulating activities for our care home residents. This change of title reflects that earlier description of wellbeing, emphasising their role in enhancing every facet of our residents' lives.
Within their day-to-day, our Wellbeing Leads construct inventive experiences and activities to surprise and delight. Your loved one could find themselves mixing cocktails or cheering on their favourite football team, exploring the world using virtual travel technology or planting bulbs in the gardens. The choice is always theirs.
With a significant focus on health and wellbeing - this resident-led method encourages everyone to enjoy independent living in a safe, supportive environment.
