“ The grounds are always well-maintained, and the staff ensure that everything looks lovely and tidy. The flowers, trees, and seating areas are kept in perfect condition, making it a peaceful place to relax or take a walk. It's clear that a lot of care goes into maintaining the outdoor spaces, and it really adds to the overall sense of calm and comfort here." – Resident, Iris Court Care Home

This is one of the many projects we have seen all the way through we initially landscaped for Iris Court, Gosmore care home, creating a secure, homely environment for all residents, including those with dementia. Our design featured accessible paths, sensory gardens, and seating areas, enhancing aesthetics and functionality. Special attention was given to the Memory Lane area, with plants and colours designed to support residents’ memory and well-being. After completion, we then went on to provide ongoing maintenance to ensure the grounds remain beautiful, safe, and enjoyable for everyone.

Project Outcome: The regular grounds maintenance at Iris Court, Gosmore, care home enhances residents' well-being by providing safe, peaceful outdoor spaces that promote relaxation and social interaction. Well-kept gardens and paths ensure safety, while sensory areas like Memory Lane support residents with dementia by stimulating memories and calming the mind. The beautiful, inviting environment boosts mood, reduces stress, and fosters a sense of pride and comfort for both residents and staff, making Iris Court a positive and enjoyable place to live.
