Resident wellbeing toolkit
Age Cymru has created a toolkit to bring together helpful resources to enable care homes, families, friends and residents to create the ideal environment for supporting wellbeing.
This toolkit can be used by all care home staff, family, friends and residents and aims to provide resources, ideas and share the best practice gathered from care homes across Wales. It’s divided into four sections:
-
Transition: Feeling welcome
Providing a good transition into a care home can provide psychological safety and positively impact on a residents’ ability to find their place within a care home. -
Meaningful activities: Making someone feel at home
Access to meaningful, person-centred activities allows residents to relax or get active, socialise or reflect, learn a new skill, create something and express themselves. -
Purpose, significance and achievement
Care homes can offer opportunities for residents to feel part of the home by supporting them to have a say in their day-to-day lives, and to find jobs to do to support the running of the home that are linked to their interests. -
A good ending: What matters most
Providing a good ending for a resident can have a positive impact on the wellbeing of the resident’s friends and family, as well as the care home staff.
