Good morning,
Below is a press release about our homes in Paisley, please get in touch if you require further information.
On the 24th of August, Pacific Care welcomed Andy Lowndes, the Deputy Director of Playlist for Life and Paula Bain, the training coordinator for Playlist for Life, to a presentation of how Pacific Care has implemented Playlist for Life into its care plans for those suffering with dementia.
Members of staff from Birdston Day Care and Care Homes Lillyburn, Kintyre, and Mosswood all gave a few examples of residents who have benefitted from the introduction of playlist for life in their care plans. In the case of Bridie McEwan, a user of Pacific Care’s Day Care center, a stark change was witnessed by both staff and family – who were also in attendance – when Bridie’s playlist was first developed.
Before the intervention, Bridie was becoming increasingly withdrawn from the world around her and had ceased communicating with staff having to rely on body language. Amazingly once staff at the Day Care Centre started using Bridie’s playlist she became less introverted and began verbally communicating with staff for the first time in 11 months. Bridie’s family were so shocked to see the immediate difference in their mother’s behaviour once the playlist started that they were moved to tears.
Andy Lowndes from Playlist for Life, noted that he was, “overwhelmed with the work done over the last few months”. Following on from the presentation there was an award ceremony where Andy Lowndes awarded Pacific Care with 3 plaques acknowledging the commitment made by staff and carers. Pacific Care is the first care provider in Scotland to be awarded with 3 plaques for more than one site and is at the fore front of implementing Playlist for Life into its care plans for all residents.
Janice Allen, Pacific Care’s Clinical Director, was the driving force behind the introduction of Playlist for Life at Pacific Care and noted, “To see the benefits of this is just amazing”.
