For someone who loves being outdoors, even a short spell of fresh air may be an important part of the day.
An interest in fresh air, plants or simply sitting outside can be worth discussing during a visit. Check actual access and the assistance needed rather than relying on pictures.
A practical way to begin
Weather, health needs and staffing arrangements may affect what is possible at a particular time. Ask the home to explain its approach without assuming unrestricted access or a fixed programme.
Your discussion checklist
- Ask which outdoor areas can be used
- Discuss mobility and seating needs
- Ask how support outdoors is assessed
- Explore interests such as plants or birdwatching
Before you take the next step
