Our end-of-life companion, Beverley, will work with you and your loved one, as well as local health professionals and hospice teams to plan your loved one’s care so they are as comfortable as possible, and wishes are arranged.

Getting to know you

We sit down and get to really know your loved one, we are about personal centred care, everyone has their own stories so we would take the time to know that. We understand it can be a difficult time moving a loved one into a care home, so we get to know about your loved one before they arrive at the home so they are greeted, and their room is already as homely as it can be. We learn all about your loved one’s life story and personality and create a memory box of all the things they have done.

Dementia friendly environments

Our immediate surroundings can have a huge impact on our quality of life, particularly when trying to make sense of the world around us. We work with academic partners to create care home environments that help people living with dementia – this can be from colour palettes, textures to even sounds played!
