Maximising Independence – where are we now?

Creating Meaningful Connections in our care homes

Our Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership's Residential Care Homes for Older People strive to enhance the lives of their residents.

The staff at these care homes recognise the profound importance of meaningful connections in the lives of the residents – connections that span family, friends, staff and the broader community.

The COVID-19 pandemic brought with it a host of restrictions, profoundly impacting the ability of individuals in residential care to engage with their communities and receive visits from loved ones.
