In honour of International Nurses Day, the team at Linden House saw it fitting to make a surprise visit to the team at the Basett Ward at the University Hospital Southampton. The Bassett Ward is one of only a few specialist dementia hospital wards and cares for some of the most advanced dementia patients at various stages of their journey.
Armed with chocolates, hand creams, lavender bags (each handmade and sewn by residents) and a cake made by our fantastic chefs, we were able to surprise the team, who were delighted.
Residents Tony and Pam wanted to come along and happily chatted to the nurses, saying how grateful they were for them and everything they do. Pam explained she had helped to make the lavender bags and hoped they would bring a small sense of calm to a busy life as a nurse ๐ชป๐ฅ
