We make health happen

Here at Bupa we support those when they need it the most. Our care homes are dedicated to delivering person‑centred care, supporting independence and honouring choice to help our residents live their best lives.

An activity co‑ordinator is like the chief fun officer – they create a vibrant, joy‑filled atmosphere for our residents. They dream up exciting events and hobbies, from arts and crafts, baking, book clubs, to pub quizzes. They work closely with residents and care teams to create tailored activity plans, whether it’s gentle chair‑based exercise or a garden party. Activities bring people together for laughter, camaraderie and shared experiences.

They also have a therapeutic side, boosting spirits through meditation and wellbeing classes.
