Day Care
“When I first stepped into Day Care, almost immediately, I felt a quiet warmth. The scene was not that of a hospital, it was that of a community.”
EXPERIENCES BEYOND FOUR WALLS
Virtual Reality (VR) Project: Started in January 2025 to provide Inpatients and Day Care clients with the ability to travel to where they have wanted to go but are now too frail to. This can be done together with loved ones, creating memories and making real the wish to be in places longed for and missed.
“A terminal condition does not mean life stops there. Every Moment Matters to the end. We help you take back control of your body and create lasting memories.”

Namaste Care
A multifaceted intervention using sensory stimulation (stroking touch massage, calm music, soft lighting and aromatherapy). It can lessen agitation and help people bond better. In advanced dementia, it increases awareness and engagement with their surroundings. In some cases, Namaste Care can reduce the need for medications.
Group Activity
Art and Music Therapy: Engaging in creative activities like painting, drawing, or playing musical instruments can be therapeutic and expressive.
Exercise Programmes: Gentle exercise tailored to individual needs can improve physical function and reduce fatigue.
Recreational Activities: Outings, games, and social gatherings can provide a sense of normalcy and enjoyment.
Support Groups: Providing a safe space for patients and their families to share experiences and receive emotional support.
Respite for Caregivers: Caregivers can benefit from the respite provided by day care services, allowing them to recharge and attend to their own needs.
