So Jealous of this group, who share beautiful countryside as well as a purpose built building that meets the needs of the People who may be Living their Lives with Dementia.
Living at home for as long as possible with respite provision is surely the best provision of care for all.
Maybe we should aim for similar buildings, rather than civic centre's, church halls etc being used for a few hours on a monthly or weekly basis.
Perhaps Councils planning committee's should consider this in their major expansions of housing.
Our communities have been segregated by planners and limited budgets.
The phrase "Village " has sadly disappeared rapidly... Gedling, Papplewick, Calverton. Numerous others in the name of progress and meeting needs!!
Communication keeps us connected.
Rachel, Martyna and Louise had a meeting. And of course, Gerry had to supervise.
These conversations matter. The check-ins, the feedback loops, the moments where we actually listen to each other. That's how we build a team that works. That's how our Care Professionals know they're supported.
Communication isn't just about sharing information. It's about showing up for each other, being honest, and caring enough to get it right. It's the backbone of everything we do.
