Exemplar Health Care has opened a multi-faith room at its Blackmoor specialist care home in Birmingham for adults living with complex and high acuity needs.
The multi-faith room has been designed to provide a peaceful space for residents who are wanting to practice their spirituality or if they need a space to take time out.
It also includes a copy of the Quran, a prayer mat, a bible, comfortable seating and a meditation space to make sure the room is accessible for everyone.
The multi-faith room is available for anyone who lives, works or visits the home and Exemplar encourages colleagues and residents to come together and celebrate their own faith, learn about others and support each other.
The room also offers the opportunity to take a break, in an environment conducive to improving wellbeing and discussing faith and community matters.
“We will also ensure that the team understands an individual’s manner in which they wish to observe spiritually, and will endeavour to make this readily available to the person,” said Kerry Hill, commissioning home director at Blackmoor.
“The room is open seven days a week and will provide a quiet area to encourage colleagues to take time out, help reduce stress and improve wellbeing in the workplace,” she added.
Blackmoor has three ten-bed units which specialise in supporting adults living with complex mental health needs, neuro-disabilities, brain injuries, spinal injuries and complex dementia.
