Offer: • A Programme Designed by UCL Students to Delay Dementia. This is a programme where every week our tutors teach something different. E.g. sign language and drawing one week; braille and poetry the next; learning to listen (to the smallest details) and music the following week etc. This programme touches on the 6 parts of the brain specific to dementia, but our tutors make those sessions filled with connection and laughter - the special ingredient. All first sessions are free, so you can ‘try before committing’, and there is no minimum number of sessions needed for a commitment. Your homeowners happiness is our priority.
• Classic Clarendon Tutors Tutoring. In a group, or 1-2-1 setting, learn about one specific area of interest, in depth, for an extended period. For example, Spanish, Italian, Mandarin, Art History, the History of Music, Politics etc. We have 400 tutors, covering all subjects, so whatever ‘intellectual curiosity’ your homeowners have, we will find the perfect match.

Dedicated to getting people moving, no matter age or ability. UK guidelines recommend over 65s strength train at least twice a week.

It is therefore not surprising that half those over 80 fall each year and it is now the most common cause of injury related deaths in over 75s with a 70% increase since 2010. Now is the time to implement a comprehensive falls prevention program and keep residents healthy! We are the UK exclusive distributors for HUR’s active ageing range. Through pneumatic air pressure technology, the machines remove the “clunky” weight stack movement ensuring a smooth and controlled workout that's safe & joint-friendly. Starting at almost zero weight, and small increments of 100g, improvements can be seen. Range limiters ensure resident safety. HUR also provide a cognitive balance training platform, a perfect tool for dementia! We work with various retirement living and care home architects, designers and operators whether you need small exercise accessories or a full design and refurbishment including suitable strength and cardio equipment to suit your needs.
