We took a step back to reevaluate how we approached care
We took a step back to evaluate what we did and recognised that our priority is to ensure that our family members live well and have the chance to celebrate all of life’s moments while still receiving the physical and nursing support they need. We see Landermeads as a family in which we live and work together looking after each other daily.
We identified some core principles that are part of everything we do here at Landermeads
Each family member comes to us with a wealth of experience and history which is an integral part of the person they are today. We spend time finding out about this and using it to shape the things we do each day.
Finally, we decided to adopt the Kitwood Flower Approach
We believe that emotional wellbeing is a direct result of how we support our family members and we use the 6 elements identified by Tom Kitwood in everything we do.
At Landermeads we celebrate life and the potential in each moment. When someone comes here to live with us they become one of our family members and we wrap them in love.

Our Lovely Roy Prentice - Together We Can Make The Moment Matter
Roy had a life long dream to score a goal at Meadow Lane Football Club, the home of Notts County and we decided to make this happen. With a little help from our friend ‘Big Ian’ and Notts County to help us make Roy’s dream came true. Roy was able to go along with his friends and family (some of whom made it all the way from Spain) to take a penalty, which he scored! at half time “Well done Roy”.
Notts County are the first football club to get behind the ‘DEMENTIA IS A TEAM GAME’ campaign. A huge thank you to Notts County and ‘Big Ian’ for helping us to make this wonderful dream come true.
Below is the footage taken by Notts County, and the full full length video taken by 'Big Ian':

Showcases the value of Dementia Care Matters 'Feelings Matter Most' philosophy for people living with dementia, which recognises that people living with dementia are more 'feeling beings' than 'thinking beings'.
