Copperfield Court is proud to be leading the way in promoting occupational wellbeing as part of its approach to meaningful, person-centred care. Through a range of engaging initiatives, the team is helping residents maintain their independence, boost self-esteem, and feel a greater sense of purpose and belonging within the home.
One of the most impactful aspects of the initiative has been the introduction of resident involvement in everyday household tasks and key decisions within the home. Residents now play an active role in setting tables, folding laundry, and even taking part in interview panels for potential team members – ensuring their voices are truly heard in the life of the home.
Encouraging residents to participate in these kinds of activities not only reinforces a sense of autonomy but also supports physical and emotional wellbeing. From promoting movement and fine motor skills to sparking conversations and connection, this hands-on engagement helps reduce loneliness and enhances overall quality of life.
Eve Balcombe, General Manager at Copperfield Court, said:
“At Copperfield Court, we believe that supporting occupational wellbeing is fundamental to helping our residents lead fulfilling, independent lives. Whether it’s helping with the laundry, sharing their views on who should join our team, or simply laying the table, these activities give residents purpose and pride. It’s about showing that they are still very much in control of their lives and valued in every way.”
The success of this initiative is a testament to Copperfield Court’s commitment to delivering care that recognises each resident as an individual with unique needs, preferences, and strengths. With compassion, collaboration and creativity, the home continues to foster a vibrant community where everyone can thrive.
