Elsa’s story

Spark of Life in a Care Setting

The Miracle Maintenance Man

‘The Spark of Life Model of Care, has helped to create Adriel’s unique culture and care delivery. We provide genuine Person Centred Care where staff have shifted to a rehabilitation mindset. Because of this our residents remain independent for longer and their quality of life is improved.

For the last 4 years, we have not required the use of personal or physical restraint and fall rates have been reduced with 40.5%.

Behaviours of concern have reduced with 73.5% over the past 2 years and PRN psychotropic medication has only been used 3 times in the last 3 years.’
