Overview
What you will study
Community engagement is a key priority for care homes wishing to drive up their reputation, attract the next generation of potential employees into the care home sector, attract future customers, and most importantly, to help residents to connect with the people, places and things that really matter to them.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) have recently identified community engagement as a key characteristic of outstanding care homes. Establishing links with the community that aren’t face-to-face is even more vital given social distancing and the loneliness it can create.
If this is your ambition, the My Home Life Community involvement in care homes course offered by City, University of London will help you get started.
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- Bring children and young people closer to your care home
- Enable community groups and clubs to interact with residents virtually
- Invite people from your neighbourhoods to see a resident, drop off some donated magazines, films, books, write letters, play music, etc
- Respond to the specific wishes of your residents - the big and little things that bring ‘light to life’.
