A Day in the Life

Morning: Set up the lounge for the weekly music therapy session. Help residents get settled and enjoy watching them come alive when the familiar songs begin.

Midday: One-to-one session with Arthur, a former gardener - you've brought in seed catalogues to look through together and plan the spring planting.

Afternoon: Chair-based exercise class followed by afternoon tea. Today you've arranged for a local school choir to visit.

Before you leave: Update the activities board for tomorrow and chat with families at visiting time about the upcoming summer fête.

"Every day I get to help our residents smile, laugh and feel alive. It's not just a job - it's a privilege." - Current Activities Coordinator
