The day-to-day life of a resident or patient in care can be repetitive and even sedentary. The role of an Activities Coordinator in care organisations, such as care homes and nursing homes, is to promote the health and mental well-being of their residents by offering spontaneous and planned activities that are meaningful to the residents.

Learners will also gain an understanding of the variety of activities that can be arranged to meet the different individual’s likes and dislikes, and how these can be used to build self-esteem.
