Building connection and community in care.

Gina and Ian talk about how they have seen the shorter but more regular visits provided by NR Care alongside wider support from staff at The Great Hospital whilst ensuring residents get what they need it has also nurtured greater connection between residents themselves.

Ian notes that what is often most important to people is not necessarily what you need but what you wish for which is often as simple sittiing down over a cup of tea and a chat.

With the wider activity, communal restuarant and events at The Great Hospital these combined factors have organically begun to reduce isolation and nurture connection. Gina gives examples of how the Local Authority has been working alongside them.
