At Yorkare Homes, we are committed to delivering outstanding, person-centred care. Our 2026 Care Home Initiatives – Challenge 26 and Wish 26 – are designed to enhance resident wellbeing, strengthen community connections, and create meaningful experiences across all our care homes.
Together, these initiatives reflect what matters most to us – inclusion, joy, ambition, and making every day meaningful.
Introducing Challenge 26 – Inclusive Monthly Challenges for All
We’re thrilled to launch Challenge 26, a brand-new inclusive monthly challenge series designed to bring together residents and teams across all Yorkare Homes.
Each month throughout 2026, our homes will take part in a fun, creative, and engaging challenge. From artistic flair to teamwork and imagination, every challenge is designed to be accessible, enjoyable, and inclusive, ensuring everyone can get involved in their own way.
The excitement will build all year long, leading up to a special end-of-year celebration, where the Overall Challenge Series Cup winners will be revealed.
How Challenge 26 Works:
- A brand-new challenge is shared with homes every month
- All entries must be submitted by the end of each month
- One home wins each monthly challenge
- Winning homes are added to a company-wide leaderboard
- All entries remain anonymous to ensure fairness
Introducing Wish 26 – Turning Dreams into Reality
At Yorkare Homes, we believe life should be full of joy, wonder, and special moments, no matter your age. That belief sits at the heart of Wish 26, our very own initiative dedicated to helping residents fulfil a dream they’ve always held close to their heart.
Whether it’s:
- Revisiting a favourite place
- Meeting someone inspirational
- Trying a hobby they’ve always wanted to explore
- Or experiencing something completely new
Wish 26 is about going above and beyond to make those wishes come true. Each wish is personal, meaningful, and unique — and we’re committed to supporting our residents to experience moments that truly matter to them.
Looking Ahead to an Incredible 2026: With Challenge 26 encouraging connection, creativity, and friendly competition, and Wish 26 focusing on heartfelt, life-enriching experiences, 2026 is set to be a year filled with celebration, compassion, and community across Yorkare Homes.
We can’t wait to see the challenges embraced, the wishes fulfilled, and the memories made along the way!
