Meet the South Yorkshire Team

"The classes having been running in this area for just over one year now and I have been overwhelmed with the positive feedback received from residents and staff."

"I now have two other Therapists working with me to enable us to provide this service to as many homes as possible in this area. This is a unique service that I encourage all Homes to try with a demonstration class, and I believe you will see the effects within that very first class. "

Expanding into DN21, bookings for taster sessions now being taken for July and August 2017. 

About Motivation & Co. South Yorkshire

Motivation & Co. South Yorkshire 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.
