Green Park Care Home in Warrington, managed by Orchard Care Homes, has recently unveiled a brand new 18-bedroom facility specifically designed for residents with dementia. The innovative Dementia+ unit has been carefully crafted to cater to the unique requirements of individuals with advanced dementia and more complex needs. Simultaneously, it aims to foster a positive working environment for the staff. Among the various initiatives implemented at the new home, the integration of SMART care technology stands out as a remarkable feature, contributing to the delivery of exceptional care services to the residents.
Green Park has reminiscence rooms designed to evoke a sense of nostalgia and comfort. These rooms have been thoughtfully arranged to resemble a parlour and a café, creating familiar and cozy spaces for the residents. Additionally, a versatile multi-purpose room will host a variety of mood-boosting activities to enhance the overall well-being of the residents. Moreover, easy access to the car home’s garden area will be provided, allowing residents to enjoy the outdoors and connect with nature.
"We are delighted to open the new Dementia+ unit at Green Park. The use of wireless assistive technology will be key in providing a high level of quality care. The data captured by the nurse call system, such as response times, will complement our own new initiative around eCare planning." David Williams, Interim Head of Regional Operations
Fast access to accurate care records and compliance with clinical governance
Courtney Thorne was chosen to design and install a cutting-edge nurse call system. This advanced system allows residents to request assistance conveniently, even while they are mobile anywhere on the premises. As part of the Altra Care SMART wireless nursing call system, wearable technology plays a significant role in enabling seamless communication between residents and caregivers.
The implemented solution provides an automatic alert system that promptly notifies staff in the event of a fall. This system not only detects falls but also instantly identifies the individual involved and their precise location. As a result, residents can now engage in new activities with a sense of security, even when they are outside in the garden.
David Williams, Interim Head of Regional Operations at Orchard Care Homes, led the project at Green Park Care Home.
“We’re delighted to open the new Dementia+ unit at Green Park,” he explained. “We are confident it will play an important role in the care landscape of the local area. The use of wireless assistive technology will be key in providing a high level of quality care in a setting that has been designed specifically for those living with greater medical needs.
“The data captured by the nurse call system, such as response times, will complement our own new initiative around eCare planning, which enables us to quickly access accurate care records and ensure compliance in aspects of clinical governance.”
