Knowing You Matter

Will all older people who are in care environments know that they matter?

We have made a film which places compassion, kindness and respect at the heart of care. Older people spoke bravely and honestly on the film about what they feel, and think and about their stories. The response to the film has included:-

A young woman said she would spend more time with her Granny and would tell her how much she admired her
A 79 year old woman wanted to know how she could volunteer
A University researcher organised her own screening
A national campaigning organisation want to help to make the film core to the worker induction in every care home

Universal human needs are simply expressed in the film. I hope that the impact is felt by people and their families. I hope that people can end their days with a feeling of peace, knowing they matter.
