Inhabitant Roles

Residents

Elderly residents live in the Caring Home to gain the support of staff and a social environment.

Diverse wants and needs require autonomy of private spaces to suit the individual, and tailored nursing and personal care.

Retaining and widening human connections and activities aids essential stimulation.

Loved Ones

Enabling relationships between residents and loved ones is vital for comfort and well-being. Encouraging short or long-term visits gives opportunities for people to enjoy time together, and form connections with other inhabitants.

If desired, loved ones may play a light-touch role in the care of their resident, retaining independence while allowing involvement.

Staff

Carers manage the personal care and requirements of residents, helping with daily activities as desired. Building relationships with residents and their loved ones aids feelings of trust and empathy.

Specialist nurses, physiotherapists and hydrotherapists further support individual needs.

Public

Existing multigenerational visitors to the park provide inhabitants with a range of potential interactions, widening social opportunities and integrating the Caring Home as part of the local community.
