Lifestyle Pioneers

Westgate Healthcare’s unique ‘Lifestyle Pioneer’ programme was created to empower the communities within our care homes by encouraging residents to embrace their passions and to take the lead in evolving their lifestyles by continuing to do the things that are special to them

Each of the homes across the Westgate group will be empowering their residents to join the new Lifestyle Pioneer programme, whether they choose to become a Resident Gardener, Day Lounge Monitor, Event Pioneer or Food Critic – the roles are limitless!

The roles within each home will be adapted to suit our residents and their personal interests, and every resident will have the opportunity to work alongside the staff at their home to carry out their duties.

Westgate believe that by creating an open community where residents are empowered to take on a role within their care home we can build stronger relationships whilst enabling our residents to enjoy a greater sense of purpose and pride.

Every resident receives person-centred care so daily activities and Pioneering roles are tailored to individual interests, abilities and personalities. The Lifestyle Pioneer programme reinforces that our care homes are a place where residents continue doing the things that are special to them, whilst being in a safe environment that offers quality care.
