Dignity in action and activity!!

Living well through activity
The College of Occupational Therapists has launched an online toolkit to enable care home residents to continue with the activities that are important to them.

The free Living Well through Activity in Care Homes toolkit has been piloted in care homes and is now available. It helps to address many of the complications caused by a lack of physical and mental stimulation including infections, preventable falls and depression.

Supported by Skills for Care, the toolkit is full of practical exercises and tips to support reflection and learning and has separate guides for residents, family and friends, care staff and care home owners and managers.
