Another benefit of the services provided by Memoryprints4u is that small personalised items such as photo frames, calendars featuring loved ones and wall art can give the resident’s room that homely touch and restore a sense of self often not found in many care settings.

Wiltshire gifts company offers personalised décor and client materials to care sector

Wiltshire-based personalised gifts and vinyl prints company, Memoryprints4u has created a new care service to offer personalised décor and client materials to help showcase the care and compassion given in care settings to potential new residents and their families and also to help the individual feel more at home.

Product designer Abigail Davey says, “As a community volunteer who has experience working with the elderly, I noticed that one of their main fears about moving into care was the loss of their home comforts and familiar surroundings. That can make the new environment feel very clinical and alien to them.”

Although many rooms may contain the same floor coverings, wall paper and carpets, the addition of a few small items can help create a home from home feeling dependant on the tastes of the individual.

“Giving new residents the ability to select from a range of personalised wall prints featuring family members or decorative items with a personal message is a real incentive for those looking to transition into care,” continues Adeline.

Another benefit of the services provided by Memoryprints4u is that small personalised items such as photo frames, calendars featuring loved ones and wall art can give the resident’s room that homely touch and restore a sense of self often not found in many care settings.

Abigail continues “Our personalised calendars and wall art have proven to be very popular as gifts for loved ones in care settings as they enjoy seeing their families in a useful and practical item that they can display in their rooms.

“What’s also proven to be popular, especially with individuals with Alzheimer’s, is our photo frames on which we print the names of the people featured in the photo or a personalised message to the recipient.”

 For the care home manager, the ability to create an annual calendar to showcase the emphasis on resident happiness and care has been welcomed, especially in light of the recent bad press given to the care sector by the media.

The calendar idea has been met with interest by care home managers who will select images of their residents for us to make into a calendar as a gift for loved ones to show that they’re settled and happy in their new home.

It is also be a good way to highlight the importance that the care setting places on resident health and happiness for potential new residents and their families.
