GUILD Care has collaborated with Adaptive Care and Tree Nation to launch a new initiative that supports both dementia care and environmental sustainability.
As part of the initiative, a tree has been planted for each of the 67 en-suite bedrooms at Haviland House, the purpose-built home for people living with dementia.
Guild Care has recently introduced an advanced acoustic monitoring system from Adaptive Care to enhance the effectiveness of care.
Residents and their families were given the option to use the acoustic monitors which are small, discreet devices that operate during the night. They allow care staff to monitor any disturbances that might require attention, significantly reducing incidents such as falls.
Previously, Guild Care’s nursing team conducted regular checks on residents throughout the night which remains an effective method but could be disruptive to light sleepers.
With the new system in place, the environment is quieter and more peaceful, leading to fewer in-person nighttime checks and promoting uninterrupted rest for a better night’s sleep.
