Senior Coach Well-being on Prescription

Senior Coach “Wellbeing on Prescription”

Wellbeing on Prescription is a method that arose from a collaboration of GPs and welfare work, community coaches, home care, but also family members or neighbors. Elderly people who feel lonely and have few social contacts are linked to activities or voluntary work. Central to this is what the participant wants / is able to do. Wellbeing on Recipe gives participants that little helping hand to take the necessary first step.

Do you already have some experience in guiding people, are you patient and can you listen well? Then we invite you to read on and contact us if you are interested.

Welfare on Prescription method

As a coach, you will discuss with the participant his / her personal situation, wishes, possibilities and opportunities with regard to a desired day schedule. Obviously, obstacles are also discussed. Together you will look for the possibilities to expand his or her network. You do this by exploring which activity suits the participant best. For this you will receive an information folder and access to the care guide. You can of course contact the coordinator or fellow volunteers if you have any questions. In this way, together with the participants, you put together a package of options (this can be 1 or more activities per week, depending on the wishes and the offer). If necessary, guide the participant 1 or 2 times to the desired activities to lower any threshold. All in all, this requires an average of 4 to 8 conversations per participant. After the connection, you will remain available for the participant for a while to see if everything is going well.
