Fife Meaningful Activity Network Launch
Created: 23/09/2024
News/Events Category: Health and Social Care
Fife Council's Active Communities Team and Fife Health and Social Care Partnership Care Homes OT invite staff in Fife who have a role in supporting older adults in care homes and care settings, to join the activity network.
The network will provide a supportive space for staff working with older adults in care or community settings to be able to share good practice, learn together, and collaboratively solve problems. The aim of the network is to empower staff to explore ways to supporting people experiencing care to live active, engaging, and meaningful lives and improve their quality of life.
There is growing evidence that meaningful activity and movement can improve quality of life and wellbeing of older adults and those experiencing care. Regular physical activity and movement can help reverse some of the age-related decline in physical function, improve wellbeing, help independent living, and create opportunities to increase social connections. However, as people get older, physical activity levels typically decline and sedentary behaviour increases. Staff supporting older adults in communities and care settings are key to enabling older adults to find ways to continue being active in a way that is meaningful to them.
Who should attend?
The network is aimed at staff supporting older adults in care or community settings across Fife.
