Motivation & Co.

Meet the Leeds & Wakefield Team

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to you my name is Terri Dickson. I'm the area manager of Motivation & Co. West Yorkshire.  I joined the Motivation & Co. team having seen for myself the profound difference Motivation & Co. makes to the wellbeing of our clients. Providing motivational therapy to the care sector and seeing the response we inspire, has inspired my passion and enthusiansm wanting everyone to benefit from this service.

I am really excited and enthused in building a great team of Motivational Therapists to enable us to bring this fantastic service to you.

Now taking bookings for July 2017

 

With all new customers the starting point is to book a Motivation & Co. Taster session giving you an opportunity to meet us and see exactly what we are about and more importantly the affect we have on your residents. 

Research has demonstrated that gentle exercise and stimulation can have dramatic effects on people aged between 70 and 90. It can increase strength and appetite, improve general health as well as increasing memory and self esteem.

Motivation & Co. West Yorkshire currently provides this service, on a regular basis to Homes and Day Care Centres in the Leeds area. If you would like to see this service in your care home, we start off with a demonstration class which is at a discounted rate. The purpose of the demonstration class allows you to view the class, meet us and see for yourselves the response we get from your residents. If you would like more information, please call 01937 557166.

About Motivation & Co. Leeds & Wakefield

Motivation & Co. Leeds & Wakefield provides specialist recreation and motivation classes for the elderly. Our classes are carried out in Nursing and Residential Homes and have been designed to help residents maintain or improve their emotional and physical well-being.

The benefits to the Care Home are that you are working in partnership with a National Award winning UK company with a proven track record of success, supported by committed and trained Therapists who are fully engaged in our company ethos through continuous training and development.

What is a taster session?

Trying us out by way of a taster session gives you the opportunity to see what we are about and what wedo and more importantly the effect we have on your residents.

The taster sessions are always the same theme (colour) as with this theme, we can quickly adjust dependant on the abilities of your clients without them knowing that we are raising or lowering the delivery level.

All the Motivation & Co. Class materials are specifically designed and produced by the company making it unique to us. Motivation & Co. is fully researched, evidence based and a national Award winning UK company.

What happens after your taster session?

Following the taster session we leave you a couple of days to digest and get feedback from staff and residents to evaluate if this is something you would wish to use on a regular basis. We will contact you to get feedback as you know your residents better than us to see if you had a good response or not.

If you do choose to come on board you will receive a welcome pack and will be booked in either weekly, fortnightly or four weekly same day & time. Each home is different as to how often they have us.

You will also receive an activities task sheet each month form head office via e-mail – these are all evidence based stating what you are working on and made so that they can be implemented without having to go out and buy items to make this activity.

We also hold an activity co-ordinators training day once a year in your area working in partnership with you as part of your team.

We are fully researched by Leeds University and we have developed a Dementia falls prevention programme for the NHS Hertfordshire, we are a registered training centre and all our Motivational Therapists are DBS checked and fully insured.

Our residents are our #1 priority

• We have used Motivation & Co. classes now for several years and the residents always enjoy the afternoon’s activities. They provide a written summary of the events/activities, it would be worthwhile giving them a try.

• Motivation and Co. have been coming out to Stella House for a few months, once every fortnight. They help the resident’s to get involved in various activities that keep them active. It is lovely to hear our residents singing along with Motivation and Co. to songs that they remember. I would definitely recommend them as they do not stop from the minute they get into the minute they leave, filling the time with stimulating activities that help the residents bond together.
