Nicola Jacobson-Wright and Faith Frost present on Namaste Care, a sensory-based programme for advanced dementia.

Their research shows it significantly reduces agitation and improves quality of life in care home residents.

The episode highlights the programme's key elements, positive impacts on residents and staff, and also introduces an online course developed to educate and support staff in delivering Namaste Care, aiming to improve the quality of life for people living with advanced dementia.

This podcast is free to listen - but the care behind it isn’t.

Rowcroft Hospice is a registered charity, and much of our work is made possible thanks to the generosity of local supporters. We provide outstanding care to people with life-limiting illnesses and their families across South Devon—through our inpatient and outpatient services, as well as vital care at home.

We’re also planning to expand our impact even further, with a pioneering 60-bed dementia and complex nursing care home at our site in Torquay, designed to support some of the most vulnerable people in our community.
