Continence Strategy Generates Positive Results
The find continence strategy is centred around using multiple cue concepts to communicate feelings of confidence and
independence amongst service users. Moreover we hope to maintain or restore dignity.
The strategy works by using a variety of cues that establish a route to the toilet. For example, a coloured sign which presents
a 3D picture of a toilet provides instant recognition of the location. The toilet seat itself is brightly coloured and can be complimented
with coloured hand rails which offer guidance and deliver confidence when sitting down.
Care homes who have adopted this strategy are seeing positive results. Darren Kelly is manager of a Bupa Care Home in Paisley,
Scotland and says, 'The signs have contributed to reducing the time spent dealing with incontinence. This puts a positive spin on their
workloads and they can enjoy quality time with service users.'
Scottish Care Appoint find
We are delighted to be the ‘nominated supplier’ to Scottish Care. Ian S MacMaster, Director of Scottish Care said, 'We are delighted to be working with find who we acknowledge to be the experts in this field. This is what Scottish Care is all about - bringing the best products and services to our members and using the influence of the organisation to provide cost savings for the smaller groups and independent operators by working under the one umbrella.'
find Announced as Finalist in the Great North Care Awards
find is proud to be a finalist in the 'Care Innovator Award' category of the Great North Care Awards which take place on Friday 13th November at the National Railway Museum in York. The Awards recognise and celebrate excellence across the Care Sector and are part of 'The Great British Care Awards' which are a series of regional awards throughout the UK. The winners of the regional awards will be invited to attend the national awards which take place in London in 2010.
find Sponsors Scottish Working Group and their trip to Singapore Conference
The Scottish Dementia Working Group recently embarked on a trip to Singapore for the 24th
Alzheimer’s Disease International Conference. Their aim is to overcome a number of concerns.
Living with dementia, they are using their first-hand experience to raise awareness of what it’s really like
to have dementia. Their aim is that through their campaigning, we see improved services, improved
training and a shift in policy.
A representative from the Working Groups says, "If we are to challenge the
implications dementia presents in the same way we have for cancer, heart disease and diabetes, then
our approach needs to be a strategic one."
find fully supports their campaign. As Peter Rose, Managing Director at find says,
"We commend the Scottish Working Group in their campaign as their voice is perhaps one of
the most powerful. We need to listen and learn. That's why I believe it is important to support
them in any way we can".
High profile Occupational Therapist announces partnership with find
Leading Occupational Therapist, Jackie Poole and Jackie Poole Associates combine their knowledge and experience with the products and services offered by find. The collaboration provides a wealth of opportunities at home and abroad with a capability to deliver solutions based on knowledge and experience.
New crockery range a first for the UK
Hot on the trail of initial successes of our Wade Ceramics "Dignity" range of crockery, we have introduced a new range of coloured Melamine crockery to compliment our range and, more importantly, to provide the same benefits to people with dementia, for whom a heavy, ceramic product will not be appropriate. This is a find exclusive product in the Care Home sector

"On installing the large toilet signs, two residents who had not been able to find the toilet room previously, are now able to do so for the first time.
We are delighted with this very positive change."
