The Myley Service: Delivering Change
My Tours bring joy but they also deliver impact
Myley's service is not just about transportation; it's a lifeline that brings vibrancy and a sense of normalcy to the lives of care home residents. As Selina, the Wellbeing Lead from Lovell Place, aptly puts it, "it's really important that we're still building those links within the community and making sure that they can actually get out there and enjoy life as they would have done in their more able years."
A Window to the World
For many residents, especially those recently transitioned into care homes, Myley's service is a gentle reminder of the freedom and independence they cherish. Selina shares the story of Meryl, a newcomer who found a renewed zest for life through our tours. This is the magic Myley promises – turning residents into social butterflies, eager for the day’s adventures.
Sometimes a first time, sometimes a first in a long time, always a good time
First Experiences, New Joys
Myley's excursions offer first-time experiences, like bowling, which are adaptable and inclusive for all, regardless of mobility. As Selina notes, "the great thing is that they've got the facilities there that even people in wheelchairs or those with less mobility can actually still partake." These experiences are not just activities; they are pivotal moments of joy and achievement for the residents.
A Seamless Extension of Care
Our Tour Leaders, like Nick, become a part of the extended family. Their familiarity with residents, their willingness to remember each person's story, adds a personal touch that goes beyond a simple day out. "Nick knows all of our residents that go by name," Selina recounts, emphasising the personal connection that makes each trip special.
The benefits of partnering with Myley are immense. Selina explains that it's not just about the day's outing; it's about offering residents a future, a life outside the care home's four walls. It's about providing reassurance to families that their loved ones are continuing to live life to the fullest, as evidenced by the excitement and anticipation when a Myley tour is on the schedule.
In short, Myley's service solves the problem of social isolation and lack of stimulation in care homes. It's an investment in the wellbeing of residents, an assurance to families, and a testament to the care home's dedication to enriching lives. It's about creating memories, fostering friendships, and ensuring that every resident feels they are part of a larger, caring community.
