Easy Activity Planning for Care Homes

Get your FACTs right for person-centred activities.
Before you can plan person-centred activities, you need to get your FACTs right.
The FACTs Framework helps activity coordinators build a fuller picture of each resident - who they are, what matters to them, and how best to support their wellbeing. By checking in with Family and Friends, Activities, Care Plans, and “This Is Me” documents, you can uncover valuable insights that transform your activity planning from routine to truly meaningful.
