Peartree Care Home in Sydenham have recently teamed up with Vie (Vitality, Inspiration and Exercise) Group UK.
The Vie Group provides seminars, workshops, consultancy services, concerts and their signature exercise entertainment sessions throughout the UK and US. All of their activities are specifically designed for people who live with dementia.
The Vie Group work with hundreds of nursing and care homes around the UK, and Peartree thought that it would be a wonderful group to work with the people living in the home. So, the home now receives weekly sessions from the Vie Group.
These weekly sessions are packed full of fun entertainment, including seated chair exercise, singing, and answering quizzes. There is truly something for everyone and the leader of the programme does not hesitate to adjust the sessions to fit the abilities and preferences of the group.
So far, working with the Vie Group has proven very beneficial to everyone’s physical and mental wellbeing, as well as their cognitive skills. The sessions have received fantastic feedback from the people living at Peartree as well! When asked how they were finding it, one person said, “I love the quiz games, it gets my brain working”, while another noted that “Georgia is so friendly, we have a great time.”
The team at Peartree are really loving their partnership with the Vie Group and look forward to seeing where it takes them in the future.
