DonateOur Home Away from Home Appeal is nearing its final phase, and your support is crucial in completing the transformation of all 18 rooms on our Inpatient Unit into sanctuaries of solace and support for patients and their families.
While significant progress has been made, with 11 rooms already complete, we urgently need your help to finish the remaining rooms.
Our renovated inpatient rooms exude a warm, homely ambiance, fostering trust and relaxation for patients transitioning from home or hospital settings. Thoughtfully designed with neutral tones and minimalist decor, these rooms evoke a therapeutic sense of tranquillity. Patients are encouraged to personalise their space with cherished belongings, further enhancing the sense of being a “home away from home.”
Equipped with amenities like smart TVs and iPads, patients can stay connected with loved ones and enjoy their favourite entertainment. Additionally, translation apps facilitate communication for patients speaking different languages, ensuring they feel understood and supported.
Helen, the daughter of one of our beloved patients, witnessed first-hand the difference these transformed rooms can make.
This appeal holds particular significance for me, as my dear mum, Sue, was lovingly cared for at Compton. I have personally witnessed the impact that these transformed rooms can have on patients and their families. Inspired by my mother’s experience, my family and I took action, raising funds to equip each room with small fridge/freezers. It’s amazing how seemingly small gestures can create a homely experience amid challenging circumstances.
