The ‘Meaningful Activity’ award recognises Sara-Louise and Leighann for going above and beyond in their roles, ensuring that residents not only maintain their independence but are also engaged in activities that promote personal fulfilment and well-being.

Through their innovative approaches and person-centred care, Sara-Louise and Leighann have created an environment where residents feel valued, included, and empowered to participate in decisions about their daily lives. Whether it’s developing tailored activities based on individual preferences or fostering a sense of community within the home, their commitment to ensuring meaningful involvement for each resident is evident in everything they do.
