Participating Care Homes
Bracebridge Care - The Maples
The Maples Care Home, part of Bracebridge Healthcare, proudly hosted an inspiring VIVALDI visit from Professor Lucy Chappell, Chief Scientific Advisor for the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC). Joining her were colleagues from across the health and social care spectrum, creating a dynamic platform for collaboration and discussion.
The visit provided a unique opportunity for people living at The Maples, their families, and staff to connect with leaders in the field and share their thoughts on VIVALDI Social Care and ask any questions they had.
Wonderful to visit The Maples Care Home this month to hear their experience with research and the important work of VIVALDI Social Care. The project demonstrates how data and innovation can be harnessed to address important issues within care settings. It’s inspiring to hear about the opportunities for research with care homes, driven by those living, visiting, and working there, to ensure the best possible care.
Professor Chappell
We were thrilled to invite such a broad section of people involved in the social care sector to hear more about VIVALDI Research in social care. Those living and working in the home really enjoyed discussing the art of the possible with this research, and we are proud to be part of it all. Thank you for enabling us to hear more about this groundbreaking research and how important it is for Social Care and Health Care as a whole.
