This week our BAC OT team had a get together to celebrate OT Week 2025! 💜

The theme for this years OT week is, Right Support, Right Time: Unlocking the Power of OT. Therefore the team set up a board for staff to share their “Key” OT Moments and what supporting Service Users and being an OT means to them 👏

The team also had lots of discussions around the impact of OT and providing the right support at the right time for our Service Users. Everyone had a great time and really enjoyed the celebrations, made even better by a visit from our very own OT dog- the lovely Bella, who belongs to OT Lead, Pam Dormer 🐾

This week is Occupational Therapy Week 2025! 💜

A week aimed at putting a spotlight on the difference Occupational Therapists make through early intervention and preventative care.

Last month we launched our Recognising RITA awards, aimed at putting a spotlight on those who have demonstrated our values - Respect, Integrity, Teamwork & Accountability. Several members of our fantastic OT team were nominated - "We are grateful and proud to be recognised — it’s lovely to know our efforts are appreciated. It’s a real team achievement."

OT week showcases the vital part that Occupational Therapy is to the solution to today’s health, education and social care challenges. Occupational therapy is also at the heart of a shift towards prevention-focused care, which is exactly what this team demonstrated – helping people earlier, easing pressure across services and improving outcomes. Well done! 👏

TEC WEEK 2025 💜💡

At Bon Accord Care Community Alarm and Telecare Service we work with you to keep you as independent as possible at home. Recently we worked with one of our service users to install a specialist switch to enable her assistance dog Sky to trigger an alert through her Community Alarm when she needs help.

Our Telecare Engineers visited and worked with Sky's owner to see what could be done and the best equipment to use. Following assessment, our Telecare Engineers installed a wall mounted Pal Pad specialist switch linked to a dispersed alarm. Sky's owner then trained her assistance dog to tap the Pal Pad specialist switch when she says “help”. This was amazing to see and has enabled Sky's owner to remain living independently at home through the help of her assistance dog and Telecare.

Our Kingswells Care Home had a fantastic time last week putting up their amazing Halloween decorations!

Whilst doing so, the residents enjoyed reminiscing about going out on Halloween, not getting sweets but maybe a penny or two! Amazing work Kingswells! 🎃👻

The Bon Accord Care Enablement Team attended 12 different Sheltered Housing complexes throughout September and October, with the aim of sharing information with tenants on services available across the city to support Healthy and Active Ageing, and aids to support independence 💜

We were joined at the Roadshows by partners from North East Sensory Services and Aberdeen City Health and Social Care Partnership Wellbeing Team and the Community Adult Assessment and Rehabilitation Service/ NHS Grampian

Service users engaged in discussions with the teams about Telecare equipment, Activity of Daily Living Aids, Falls Management and Prevention, Aids to support sensory deficits and small adaptations.

Over the 12 roadshows, we engaged with 104 tenants in total, who expressed specific interest in small aids and engaging with the
various active lifestyle programs – the biggest barriers fed back by tenants related to transport to available classes and services – which we are aware has been a consistent barrier. Therefore, we will be working to look at options for transport that can be shared with the tenants.

Overall, the roadshows were very well received, and we will be looking to run further roadshows in the spring. Thank you to our partner organisations and everyone who attended! 👏

Fergus House were very lucky to receive a generous gift from Sandy’s Fish & Chip Shop last month! 🍴🍟

All service users and staff were provided with a complimentary fish supper, and loved it!

We would like to say a huge thank you to owner of Sandy’s, Brian who is a relative of a service user within Fergus. Thank you Sandy and team!
