We know just as much as you do how invaluable hobbies and interests can be to one’s quality of life. At Bridgewater Home Care we encourage all our clients to keep doing the things they enjoy most, at any age, and from the comfort of their own home. This is why we build time into our visits to assist or engage in any hobbies or pastimes a client may have, so they can spend time doing the things they love.
There are so many well-known benefits to carrying out activities that we enjoy, keeping these as part of our weekly routine can enhance these positive impacts even further. The benefits include stress relief, providing new experiences, reducing loneliness & isolation and enhancing mental stimulation; all of which are feelings that enrich our lives. Engaging in hobbies can enhance an individual’s mental and physical state too, most importantly keeping the brain active, lifting mood and focussing the mind on something that makes them happy and fulfilled.
We strongly believe that dedicating some time every so often to a certain hobby or interest is extremely beneficial to maintaining a good quality of life. We also believe participating in such hobbies and interests can create a strong bond between individual and carer, building trust, common interests, and most importantly, friendship.
At Bridgewater Home Care we are passionate about improving quality of life through utilising the freedom that having your own home affords. What better way to make the most of that freedom and independence of your own home than to continue engaging in your interests, your way. Through receiving care at home, as opposed to residential care, your loved one has the flexibility and control to decide which hobbies they might like to take up or continue, how often they engage in them and how long for. All these are huge benefits of maintaining independence; just having the freedom to decide what to do that day! Our Care Specialists will ensure your loved one has the resources they need and be there to aid, assist or guide them when carrying out any activities.
We provide a service that is specifically for helping those with reduced mobility, long term conditions, or any other disabilities that may otherwise prevent them from doing what they love. We encourage a variety of activities for those with reduced abilities and mobility such as:
• Cooking & baking
• Knitting & crochet
• Boardgames or card games
• Gardening
• Painting
• Item collecting
• Listening to music
• Film &TV
• And much more…
We find that engaging in such hobbies really helps with mental stimulation which is vital as we get older. As part of our companionship service we will endeavour to promote activities which will be beneficial to your loved ones health, being there every step of the way to make these hobbies possible.
