Octavia and St Christopher’s Hospice launch their bespoke resource aid for care teams working in extra care housing

Launched during today’s Housing LIN’s HAPPI Hour, London housing and care provider Octavia and St Christopher’s Hospice share their co-designed, bespoke resource aid for care teams working in extra care housing, to promote a better quality of life for people towards and at the end of their life. 

The ‘Better Lives, Better Endings’ resource utilises a suite of tools, to help extra care teams provide better outcomes for residents during the last years of their life, including at the end of life.

It supports staff and organisations to be better equipped to meet this growing need. It aids care colleagues to develop the skills, knowledge and confidence to be more involved in ensuring residents’ wishes are captured, listened to and acted on in decisions about living through their older years and their end-of-life care.
