Testimonials

Our Day Centre has been enjoying fortnightly Motivation sessions for a few years now. Our members really look forward to the sessions and appreciate the therapists friendly approach, remembering their names and stories, they have built up real rapport. As Activity Coordinator, I know I can rely on Motivation & Co. to deliver a well planned and thoughtful session that gives the members something extra to what we already offer in our varied activities programme. It is also one of the sessions we always mention to prospective members and their families when looking around our centre, showing them pictures of the different team games, sing-a-longs and quizzes Janet brings along each time often impresses them. Highly recommended.

Highly recommend this service…brilliant fun, gets everyone involved and improves social skills and individuals well-being and reduces the risk of people becoming isolated and bored Residents feel involved and it really lifts the mood of the home…. Janet is amazing and always makes an effort to remember resident names and is particularly good with those residents that have memory impairments ie dementia We all look forward to our fun Friday sessions.

I would just like to recommend Neil who delivers our Motivation class, He visits us twice a week and all our residents love to join in with his varied activities and quizzes. Neil has got to know all of our residents individually and knows their capabilities, he does exactly what it says on the tin “motivates” Everyone looks forward to his classes.

I observed a Motivation & Co. class in Driffield and was very impressed with her delivery and empathy. I found the residents’ spirits at the end very uplifting. I would thoroughly recommend Motivation & Co.

We have used Motivation and Co for a number of years. We are especially pleased the motivation class within our home. Our Residents who live here look forward to her class every fortnight. The class is well planned and provides lots of fun and stimulation for our Residents. I would have no hesitation in recommending Motivation and Co to other homes.

Motivation & Co has been visiting us for a couple of months now after our previous armchair exercise lady left us. From session one it was easy to see that we had made the right choice, our residents are visibly enthused, entertained and are all genuinely enjoying every minute of the sessions. We have been able to introduce this session to lots of new residents who didn’t like the armchair exercise session before, as they found it too loud and boisterous. The motivational therapist is calm and kind, has a great way of including everyone into every session, the mental games are always very well received, the gentle exercise is manageable by all our residents (even those with very late stage dementia) and they make everyone feel supported, included and to be totally truthful special, a nice touch is that they make the effort to remember everyone’s names and finds out a little about them which she then refers back to regularly. The price of each session is excellent for the amount of session you get and I would have absolutely no problems recommending Motivation & Co to anyone who is looking for a gentle but rewarding session for your care home. We have lots of comments after each session but the main theme of each one is ‘When is the next session!’ Thank you Motivation & Co and thank you Janet for being the lovely person you are x

Motivation & Co. visits The Hall every two weeks, our residents look forward to there motivation sessions and they always manage to get everyone involved and smiling. After the sessions our residents talk about what they did in the session and are often still singing the songs later in the day. The Motivational therapists are always very friendly and make our residents feel comfortable in taking part in the session.

We have used Motivation & Co. for over two years now and have never been disappointed with the service we get from them. They provide a very well structured activity session that provides both mental and physical stimulation. The instructors are able to adapt to all levels of ability which ensures that all participants engage at the level they want to. The instructors are always courteous and professional in the way they present both the activity session and themselves. I would have no hesitation in recommending Motivation & Co. to any residential environment.

Motivation & Co visits us once a month and the residents look forward to their visits, the therapist keeps the whole group occupied and entertained throughout the visit, the activities are both complimentary to physical and mental health and is a wonderful motivator, I highly recommend this and I think I speak for all the residents who take part in these sessions as well.

Our residents at Meadowfield Lodge in Bridlington enjoy their monthly visit from Motivation all the residents join in and interact really well, I would recommend Motivation to any care home.

As the General Manager of a group of 7 homes I regularly visit our homes and witness the Motivation team at work. Their interactions with our residents are superb, and the response from the Residents is always positive. The motivation team always include as many residents as possible and engage them each individually. The therapists are trained with an amazing memory for names and remembers them all so well. They will also make a fuss of new residents and introduce themselves and the activities planned. I would have no hesitation in recommending this team to other care homes.

The motivation classes are held here every 2 weeks and the residents thoroughly enjoy every minute. The instructor, has a wonderful bubbly personality and interacts with all of the residents, encouraging them to participate at a level comfortable for them. To quote a resident “she brightens up a couple of hours!”.

The residents at Scarborough Hall love the Motivation team. They are very enthusiastic and bring the best on the residents. I highly recommend the motivation team and the program used is very clever and well delivered. Money well spent!

Motivation & Co. York has been visiting Stoneleigh Home for 4 years and during that time has become an integral part of our home. Our ‘Extended Family’ of twelve resident’s, look forward to Motivation’s visits every week as their bubbly characters and obvious enthusiasm for the class they deliver is highly infectious, and lifts the whole atmosphere of our home. This valuable contribution is never taken for granted and the sessions not only enrich the body, but also the mind, and improve the quality of life of our resident’s! The resident’s at Stoneleigh enjoy the mental stimulation of the quizzes, with the mantra being “IF YOU DON’T USE IT, YOU LOSE IT”, and also the physical element and positive effect it has on their bodies and subsequent mobility. They make time for each individual, and ensure the classes are person-centred, meeting the needs of all our resident’s. I cannot underestimate the all round positive effect the class has on our home and it’s resident’s, and we are lucky to have Motivation as part of our team!

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.

Motivation & Co visit our Home once a month and the Residents look forward to their visit. They are highly entertaining with their sing a longs, games and quizzes, to mention a few. It is not too physical for our Residents and extremely enjoyable.

We have a motivation session every other week. Residents love the different activities on offer and all join in. Polite courteous workers with a good understanding of age related problems. Affordable and reliable, good communication via head office, would highly recommend this service.

Highly recommend Motivation & Co. residents always join in with the activities which are both mentally and physically stimulating. Activities vary from chair based to musical (sing a longs) to general knowledge questions etc.
