Creating friendly environments for dementia and palliative care service users

Being admitted to a hospital, care home or support facility can be a frightening, confusing experience and may cause agitation, disorientation and distress. Anxiety is also increased due to unfamiliar surroundings.

At GM Building and Property Services Limited we understand that choosing a theme everyone will understand is not only important but challenging. Our Project Managers will visit your organisation, capture your brief and design and build (if required) an innovative and bespoke environment suitable for patients with dementia, intermediate or palliative care needs.

Extensive research has been undertaken to achieve the best possible environment for these patients and we are committed to refining the way vulnerable adults are cared for in making their stay in hospitals and community facilities as stress free as possible.

Our aim

To work and engage with you and your clients to reduce the disorientation and frustration of patients, by creating and providing them with a more homely and welcoming experience when they are brought into an unfamiliar environment.
