Why the "Sit Up, Get Dressed, Keep Moving!" Campaign Matters to Us at Oakwell Homecare

Aligning with Our Goals at Oakwell Homecare

At Oakwell Homecare, we’re dedicated to fostering independence and maintaining the dignity of our service users. This aligns perfectly with the British Geriatrics Society's "Sit Up, Get Dressed, Keep Moving!" campaign, which emphasises the critical importance of daily routines in enhancing recovery and overall wellbeing.

Enhancing Recovery Through Active Participation

The campaign especially resonates with us because it champions the concept of encouraging those who need a bit of extra care to keep trying their best to get dressed and engage in physical activity as part of their recovery process. At Oakwell, our domiciliary care services are designed not just to assist, but to empower our service users. Supporting activities that maintain normalcy, like getting dressed daily, is fundamental in promoting an individual’s sense of self and enhancing their morale.

Moreover, the campaign’s focus on movement integrates seamlessly with our personalised care plans, which prioritise activities that foster both physical and mental health. Encouraging mobility helps in preventing the deconditioning that often occurs during recovery periods. This is especially crucial in a home care setting where our aim is to help individuals remain in their familiar, comforting home environment while also ensuring they stay active and healthy.

Join Our Community of Care

In adopting principles from the "Sit Up, Get Dressed, Keep Moving!" campaign, Oakwell Homecare continues to support our service users to feel part of the community and maximise their participation in community activities that enhance their quality of living. By integrating these practices into our care plans, we not only support the physical health of our clients but also boost their confidence and independence, crucial components of dignified aging.

Embracing this campaign is more than a professional practice; it's a commitment to enhancing the quality of life for our clients, ensuring they can live confidently, independently, and with dignity in their own homes.
