Care Home residents typically live within the locality of the home. But walk through the doors of most Care Homes and you're suddenly disconnected from any familiar surroundings, leaving some people to wonder and worry about where in the world they are, thus creating varying degrees of stress and anxiety concerning the loss of access to friends, family and the community in general.
Locally-themed Destination Points reinforce a sense-of-place, providing comfort and reassurance that familiar people and places are still nearby. They also stimulate memories and distractions providing opportunities for reassuring conversations.
