Unilever creates new resources for care homes

Unilever has launched a new online platform featuring a variety of wellbeing tools for staff and residents within the care sector.

The ‘This is Home’ platform is divided into four key categories:

Mind – to support the mental and physical health of residents through meaningful activities
Growth – to empower, train and inspire chefs and care sector staff
Heart – to bring people together to create happy environments and a sense of belonging
Body – to care for the nutrition of each resident

Hazel Detsiny, VP of food and refreshment away from home at Unilever UK&I, said: “We believe that elderly care homes should feel just like a home-from home, which is why we are dedicated to supporting the care sector to create a happy environment for both residents and staff.

“The last twelve months have been challenging for everyone, so we wanted to offer support through meaningful activities to help boost residents’ mental health, improve nutritional wellbeing, whilst empowering and training staff to help them provide the best care possible.

“We would encourage people in the industry to visit our ‘This is Home’ platform on our website where they can get advice, download fun activities and useful tools, as well as find great tasting recipes that will be sure to put a smile on all faces.”
