Supporting Wellbeing, Connection and Movement in Care Homes
At Synergy Dance® Outreach, we believe that everyone deserves access to joyful, inclusive movement – whatever their age, ability or mobility level. Our work in care settings is rooted in positivity, dignity and hope, supporting physical health, emotional wellbeing and meaningful human connection. Our exercise and singing programmes are treated like a visit, and something residents can look forward to. They reach out and ask when we are coming back. We bring movement, joy and singing to care environments.
We deliver flexible, person-centred activity and training packages for residential, nursing and specialist care homes, as well as day centres, outreach services and supported living environments. Our programmes are suitable for both communal group delivery and bedside sessions, ensuring no one is excluded due to health, mobility or confidence.
Sessions are tailored to individual settings, schedules and budgets, and are available weekly, bi-weekly or monthly.
Typically delivered mid-morning to mid-afternoon, our activities fit comfortably around daily care routines. Programmes include chair-based dance, yoga, Pilates and gentle fitness through ParaStars Dance™, ParaStars Yoga® and ParaStars Pilates™, all carefully adapted to support a wide range of physical and cognitive needs. Sessions can be delivered in person, live via Zoom or through pre-recorded on-demand videos, offering maximum flexibility.
Our seated and low-impact programmes support strength, mobility, confidence and circulation in a safe, enjoyable way. Using our Fitness to Fit You™ and Move Your Way™ approaches, every session is inclusive, adaptable and person-centred, encouraging choice, independence and dignity.
“The seated sessions are brilliant – everyone can join in at their own level. Residents feel included, safe and proud of what they can achieve.”
– Care Home Manager/Ilford
A highlight of our offer is Sing for Joy™, our much-loved live and recorded singing programme. Sing for Joy™ brings people together through familiar songs, gentle movement and shared musical experiences. Singing supports positive mood, reduces isolation, stimulates memory and encourages communication – often reaching residents living with dementia in powerful and meaningful ways.
“We’ve seen residents light up during Sing for Joy sessions – even those who rarely engage. The singing brings smiles, conversation and a real sense of togetherness – to both residents and care staff.”
– Activity Coordinator, Hindhead Moorlands, Residential Care Home
Alongside resident activities, we also deliver inclusive training for activity coordinators and care staff, equipping teams with practical skills, creative tools and confidence to deliver engaging wellbeing activities within their settings.
