This will ensure that when patients are discharged from hospital, they have improved mobility, self-confidence and are as independent as possible. The Serenity Garden aims to enable patients to experience real-world challenges in a safe and controlled environment under the supervision of trained therapists and nursing staff. Patients reported that these challenges had an impact on their self-confidence and prevented them from going about their daily lives. We have used feedback from staff, patient focus groups and service users with knowledge of strokes to identify the types of outdoor challenges that patients have struggled with after leaving the hospital. To support individuals affected by stroke and dementia during their hospital stay, we created the Serenity Garden. This can be a frightening, disorientating and upsetting experience for all.
Due to these issues patients affected by stroke and dementia may require inpatient hospital care. These effects often extend beyond the individual to include family, friends and the wider community. The impact can be physical psychological financial and/or social. The effects of stroke and dementia are profound.
