Residents and the Activities Team at Thames House care home in Rochdale have celebrated their commitment to dignity in care by holding a, ‘Dignity Tea Party’.
The party saw residents write down what dignity means to them and use their words to create a special piece of artwork, a ‘dignity tree’, to display in the home’s communal area.
The Activities Team also held a session around the meaning of dignity and used examples to help explain the different ways Thames House champion it in the home.
One Thames House resident, Kaz, said: “Listening and understanding is very important.”
Dev added: “Love” and another resident, Chris, said: “Giving the opportunity to have your own space and privacy.”
