Filming with Mr Motivator at New Care's Grosvenor Manor Care Home
New Care Homes, a development-led care home operator providing 'new generation' care facilities, has formed a close partnership with us and utilises a wide range of our integrated solutions. New Care recognises and experiences the positive impact and value that our solutions bring to their residents on a daily basis.
Last week, we hosted a highly successful event at Grosvenor Manor Care Centre, which is one of the several homes owned by New Care. The event featured a special "Move to the Rhythm of Life" exercise session led by the renowned Mr Motivator.
Residents and staff enjoyed an energetic and uplifting session led by Mr Motivator, and everyone involved gave the event positive feedback. The lounge was filled with residents of all ages and varying abilities, dedicated staff members, and cheerful visitors. Their beaming faces and laughter filled the room as Mr Motivator's infectious humour and boundless energy heightened the atmosphere.
The team at Grosvenor Manor did an excellent job decorating and went above and beyond to create a space that reflected Mr Motivator's vibrant personality. Additionally, they thoughtfully arranged for a specially designed cake, a hydration station to keep guests refreshed, and a beautifully crafted selfie photo frame bearing the message "I met Mr Motivator," providing attendees with a memorable and personalised experience.
Mark Kendrick from VR Care, a valued content partner for our Wellness and Activities Platform, recorded the event. This enables residents and care staff to actively engage in an energising exercise session to promote and maintain their physical and mental wellbeing.
Below, you can enjoy a brief clip from the event!
''What a memorable day! The energy in the room was amazing, and the positive impact on the wellbeing of the residents served as a powerful reminder of why we do what we do. Our collaboration with Mr Motivator was a natural choice due to his alignment with the values and mission of Person Centred Software, which is centred around improving lives. It's important to emphasise that exercise is accessible to individuals of all ages and abilities, underscoring the inclusivity of our approach.
One of our core missions and goals has been to provide live exercise sessions and broadcast them through our platform to all the care organisations we work with, and we've finally done it! We successfully live-streamed the event without any issues, marking a significant achievement for our content team. We're keen and excited to begin planning more live-streamed events at the care homes we partner with.
Also, I just wanted to say a special thanks to Matt Dudman for his invaluable support with live stream training, Lisa Wilson for her presence and assistance during the event (she did a sterling job managing the shout-outs!), and Mark Kendrick from VR Care for the excellent videography''.
Jack McKechnie, partnership manager at Person Centred Software
''The day was truly delightful. It brought me immense joy to witness the abundance of smiles all around! I also enjoyed collaborating with the team at Person Centred Software - they are a fantastic group of people!
Promoting fitness, health, and wellbeing has always been my mission. My goal is to empower individuals and make a meaningful and positive impact on their lives. I firmly believe that it is essential for every person to prioritise self-care.
Self-love is the foundation of a healthy lifestyle, and it all begins with movement; movement is a form of medicine for the body, mind, and soul.
Every care home should prioritise the wellbeing of its residents by providing regular physical activity. This is just as important as ensuring residents are adequately fed. We want to convey to every care home resident that regardless of age and ability, it is never too late to begin incorporating physical activity into your daily routine.''
Mr Motivator (Derrick Evans)
