Adopt A Grandparent
We are proud to partner with Adopt a Grandparent, a UK charity that helps reduce loneliness and social isolation among older people by creating meaningful friendships through regular video and telephone calls with volunteers.
The charity was established in response to the increasing levels of loneliness experienced by older people, recognising that regular conversation and companionship can have a significant impact on wellbeing, confidence and quality of life.
Through this partnership, our residents have the opportunity to build lasting friendships, share their life stories, enjoy regular social interaction and connect with people beyond the care home. The programme complements our person-centred approach to care by promoting emotional wellbeing and meaningful engagement.
