Towards the end of 2020 saw the award winning Excelcare group choose their preferred supplier of touch screen activity tables, to enhance their residents experience going into the new year.
Inspired Inspirations were chosen for their robust product build and after sales training package, to ensure Excelcare had a long lasting touch screen solution and the “know-how” to get the most engagement from their residents.
By the end of January 2021, every single Excelcare home had their touch screen activity table delivered and the training sessions had begun.
Here is the fantastic response from staff
"Our Tiny Tablet from Inspired Inspirations has made a massive difference to our home. Every single resident is able to access something on it and gives them a sense of independence. We use various game apps as well as Google Earth and BBC iPlayer to watch our favourite TV shows. And to top it off, it's super easy to use especially after the super efficient training and support given"
Amy, Lifestyle Coordinator, Fitzwilliam House
“The Tiny Tablet has been a great asset to Glennfield to residents and staff, it’s like another lifestyle coordinator! We’ve enjoyed using it individually with residents and also enjoyed group activities with music, singing and quizzes. There is something for everyone on it to enjoy and staff love getting involved using it with the residents. The tiny tablet is versatile and can be moved easily around the home and is also a great addition during the night where some residents have difficulty in sleeping. We love our tiny tablet!”
Katie Doiley lifestyle coordinator, Glennfield care home
“Rheola care home took part in the virtual training and found it very informative and could not wait to get started, the trainer was extremely enthusiastic and this made us even more excited to get started.
Barbara a resident at Rheola told us it has made such a difference to her especially with the current situation with Covid as she is able to use Google earth and search places she has been and also take virtual trips which is amazing.
It has made such a difference to everyone in Rheola as it is so versatile that we can use it with every single resident, even those that are living with Dementia are making full use of it and we are finding that it is having such a positive impact on their well-being.
Staff are really enjoying using the table too, the residents and staff are able to both assist each other which is wonderful to see, staff assisting with the technology side and residents teaching us about places and people.
We would recommend every care home to invest in this amazing activity table!”
Lizzie Driver-Edgar, Care home manager, Rheola care home
“Residents have been loving the interactive table. They enjoy playing games with other residents and staff. The table has given them opportunity to play sports that they’ve not played in a long time. It is also a great tool for reminiscing and revisiting the past from watching old footage of their favourite artists to using Google Earth to come back to their childhood home. It is reassuring to know that it has allowed us to offer more resources to entertain our residents especially during this time. We are very grateful for the additional comfort and joy this interactive table brought to the home.”
Kristine, Lifestyle Coordinator, Hunters Down care home
The activities table has become a great part of our daily lives here at Primrose. All of our residents especially our dementia residents have had so much fun, playing games and dancing to music. Thank you so much for enriching our residents lives.
Rachel Pardoe, Manager, Primrose Croft care home
“The Tiny Tablet is an amazing piece of equipment. Our residents LOVE it!!!
For some of our residents their sight is poor and they are now able to do word searches and play games thanks to the size of the Tiny tablet.
I personally feel that the Tiny Tablet is a brilliant idea.
I have enjoyed using Google Earth with our residents. Being able to drop yourself into street view is such a wonderful experience as it really brings back memories for the residents and they are able to talk about where they lived previously.”
Michelle Fletcher, Deputy Manager, Aliwal Care Home
