A fall might last a few seconds. The loss of confidence afterwards can last much longer.

After a fall, some older people become worried about walking, going outside or doing things they previously enjoyed.

That fear can gradually affect independence, activity and even social interaction.

Our latest Ochre Care blog looks beyond the immediate physical effects of a fall and explores why rebuilding confidence can be just as important.

Being met by a familiar face and the same warm greeting every day – that consistency shapes what Abbey Lea feels like for our residents. It’s much more than just a place to live; it’s a home.

It doesn't take grand gestures to help you feel like you belong – just a familiar someone who genuinely cares, asking how you’re doing. That's the norm at Abbey Lea.

Dignity in care isn't just a policy.

It's in the details.

Knocking before entering someone's room.
Asking rather than assuming.

Giving someone time to do something for themselves.

Remembering that the person receiving support still has their own preferences, routines and decisions to make.

Our latest Ochre Care blog looks at what dignity in care actually means in everyday life at a care home.
