Newbury Manor innovates with the introduction of new in-house bus stop

Newbury Manor Care Home, a leading provider of compassionate senior care in Oldbury, proudly announces a ground-breaking initiative designed to enhance the lives of its elderly residents living with dementia.

In a compassionate effort to emulate memories and evoke feelings of joy, the care home has introduced an in-house bus stop, providing residents with the opportunity
to indulge in a comforting routine reminiscent of days gone by.

The specially designed in-house bus stop is a thoughtful addition to the care home's commitment to person-centered care, acknowledging the importance of reminiscence therapy in enhancing the well-being of residents with dementia.

Research has shown that recreating familiar environments from the past can trigger positive emotions, reduce stress, and promote a sense of belonging.

Kam Kaur, home manager at Newbury Manor, expressed the significance of this innovative approach, saying: "At Newbury Manor, we recognise the importance of preserving the dignity and happiness of our residents. Many of them have fond memories associated with waiting for and catching buses. Our in-house bus stop is a testament to our dedication to providing holistic care that goes beyond meeting physical needs."

Residents at Newbury Manor are already relishing the new facility, utilising it as a social hub to gather, chat, and reminisce. Kam adds: "It's heartening to see how this simple yet impactful addition has brought smiles and a sense of community to our residents. They look forward to their bus trips,& sharing stories and building connections just like in yesteryear.”

This innovative approach aligns with Newbury Manor's commitment to fostering a warm and supportive environment for residents, ensuring that their unique needs and preferences are not only recognised but also celebrated.

The in-house bus stop is just one of the many initiatives undertaken by Newbury Manor to enrich the lives of its residents and promote a sense of purpose and fulfillment. The care home remains dedicated to excellence, continuously exploring creative ways to enhance the quality of life for those entrusted to its compassionate care.
