This inspirational resource has been created to support care homes answer the question, “Why don’t we go into the garden?” The engaging Map tool and detailed Handbook will help care homes explore what stands in the way of people accessing the garden more actively and then to guide them towards ever increasing person-centred care practices outdoors.
All members of staff (and residents and families too) can use the Map tool to identify current care practices, attitudes towards risk, choice and access and the steps needed to maximise engagement levels with the garden, all year-round.
