Musgrove Park Hospital and its charity, Love Musgrove, is looking to improve Eliot Ward to make it an appropriate environment for patients with dementia.
A busy hospital environment can be a confusing place for people living with dementia to navigate. Hospital stays are recognised to have detrimental effects on people with dementia resulting in longer lengths of stay and poorer outcomes.
Musgrove Park Hospital recognises the importance of the environment in patient care and they are on their way to their goal of providing outstanding dementia care by improving the surroundings and training and education for front-line staff.
