Relationship Centred Care Home Garden Design

How can we help you?

Our research showed that the biggest influence on how actively a garden is used is the care organisation’s culture; by this we mean its people, their values, practices, and policies. Our approach takes account of this in activating care setting gardens through both improving care practices and the role of a garden designer.

We support both care and garden design teams with:
• Identifying what currently stands in the way of engagement in care and dementia gardens
• and supporting you in creating actively used gardens.

Our ‘Relationship-Centred Design’ approach supports the need for any change to match a care setting’s current care culture practices. This may require the care setting reviewing its own practices and that any design changes are delivered over time to allow for the care culture and engagement levels outside to increase.

Our aim is to enable residents living in care homes, and other organisational settings, to engage meaningfully outside as part of their daily lives. We believe our approach supports making this process more successful in the longer term and is highly rewarding and cost effective for everyone involved.
