In collaboration with them, we’re delighted to now be able to bring you, via our new DIGITAL HUB, a series of FREE webinars – packed with useful advice and practical tips you can use during the pandemic and beyond. Plus you’ll have the opportunity to put your own questions to the carefully selected experts and specialists.

Namaste Care Room – hosted by Ebury Court
This purpose-built room showcases how this sensory care programme helps those with end stage dementia.
The Namaste Care programme was developed from the Hindu term ‘Namaste’, meaning ‘to honour the spirit within’. The programme encourages residents to engage through sensory activities, combining music, therapeutic touch, food, colour and scents.
Specialists from Ebury Court will be on hand to show how the care is provided and to answer questions.
