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

• Very highly recommended, we have a wonderful lady called Emma that comes and does our sessions which is so popular with our clients that we have increased the frequency of the visits, Emma brings lots of things for the session and the classes are never the same, keeping the clients motivated and interested and including everyone.

• Motivation and Co are one off the best to do armchair exercise and quiz with dementia and residential clients. I thoroughly recommend them as they are friendly and kind with all our residents. They are very patient and caring. They also go out of their way to ensure that everyone can join in.
