BEACON House Care Home in Dartmouth has unveiled a newly developed garden space that is already having a powerful impact on the lives of its residents.
Designed to encourage fresh air, movement and meaningful connection with nature, the garden has become a peaceful and joyful extension of the home.
Registered manager Sarah Tremlett said: “Creating this space has been about more than just improving our environment – it has reminded us of the power of small changes to make a big impact.
“It has brought renewed energy to the home and opened up new possibilities for how we support wellbeing.
“I’m grateful to the team for their hard work and to our founders, Tushar Shah and Mehul Shah, whose belief in what we do made this possible.”
The project was brought to life through the dedication of the team and the craftsmanship of Wayne Vincent – who leads on all the maintenance at Centrum Care Homes – who built the planting containers, laid the lawn, installed secure fencing and added decorative touches to make the space inviting and accessible.
An underused area has been transformed into a vibrant outdoor space where residents can relax, socialise and take part in therapeutic activities.
Residents recently took part in the first session in the garden, where they planted flowers and vegetables, enjoyed gentle exercise and spent time together in the sun.
