His Majesty King Charles III will continue to serve as Patron for Abbeyfield
As Prince of Wales, His Majesty had a deep appreciation of the mission of our founder, Richard Carr-Gomm, and visited many Abbeyfield services, always taking the time to speak to residents and to thank staff and volunteers for their incredible efforts. He also lent his insignia to our Royal Patron’s Awards, presented annually to a select few people who made an outstanding contribution to Abbeyfield’s work.’’
Hartland House is the first residential care facility in the UK to use Nobi lamps
Hartland House is collaborating with Nobi in a pilot project to demonstrate the transformative impact of Nobi lamps in fall detection and prevention. Hartland House is known for its diligent fall data collection and reporting and was therefore selected to be a part of a pilot by the local ICB (NHS Integrated Care Board). The project aims to solve fall incidents and unburden increasingly busy staff.
