Through our projects, staff have been able to demonstrate their creativity, unite towards a long-term goal and celebrate the achievement together. For the diner, families donated props and staff scoured local car boot sales for 1950s memorabilia. This is a way of giving something back to them.Īll the funds for our projects were raised by staff, through tombolas, open days and bake sales. Every day we learn so much from our residents: we hear about their life stories and most valued memories. Creating something from scratch, in response to what our residents have dreamed up, has been a labour of love. These projects have been driven by the passion of the staff. The familiarity helps to put residents at ease, so they can focus on talking about happy memories. These areas also work well for reminiscence therapy, which uses nostalgic surroundings to help stimulate memories and conversations for those living with dementia. All these projects provide valuable spaces for our residents to reminisce they can continue to do the things they used to love, such as watching a film or meeting friends for lunch. Our next addition will be a purpose-built pub, in memory of a much-loved resident.

Residents chose a diner, and after 18 months of fundraising, planning and construction, we opened the Pitstop in May – with an Elvis impersonator in attendance. Most recently, our residents said they wanted more spaces to spend time with friends and family, so we offered a range of options: a vintage tea shop, a cafe or a 1950s diner. We have a fully functioning vintage corner shop, a cinema and a library – all inspired by our residents. Photograph: AnchorĪt Mill View, we continually ask residents what they would like to see. Mill View has a vintage corner shop, a cinema and a library. To be able to offer comfort and reassurance, and to inject creativity and joy into residents’ lives, gives me and my team an unparalleled sense of pride. Dementia is often a bewildering experience for residents and their families. I was originally drawn to dementia care because of the tangible impact one can have in making somebody’s life the best it can be.
Our later years are just as important as any other phase in our lives. Having had a loved one battle with illness, I am acutely aware that all people receiving care need to feel engaged, supported, and worthwhile – and made to feel that their life is still worth living.
Over the last decade, a supportive team and extensive training have helped me work my way up I eventually became manager at Mill View, also in Bradford, in 2016.
I told myself “You can do this, you should do this” – and applied to work at Anchor’s Ashcroft care home in Bradford as a care assistant. The experience of losing him sparked my determination to give something back, and to use the skills I had gained to contribute to the health and wellbeing of others.
