SERVICE DETAILS
Moose in the Hoose is an outreach project run by ACE IT in Edinburgh care homes. Trained ACE IT teams lead weekly digital sessions for residents in five Edinburgh care homes. For a couple of hours, residents enjoy a variety of activities in a relaxed and supportive group setting.
People in the group have different abilities and interests. The team carefully select activities around individual needs so everybody is engaged. Volunteers may support residents to use video calls and email, play card games, colour in, reminisce about Edinburgh in days gone by, or browse music on YouTube.
Most importantly, the sessions help to build relationships, reduce loneliness and enable the residents to see the digital world as something that can enhance their lives.
