Hospice in the Weald asks community to help choose a theme for new room names

Hospice in the Weald is asking the community to help choose a theme for the names of the rooms in its new look in-patient ward.

As the Pembury refurbishment continues to move through the construction phase, Hospice in the Weald is asking the community to help pick a theme for the names of the 15 in-patient ward rooms currently undergoing refurbishment. There are four themes to choose from, and each one links to the Hospice, local area and nature.

The themes are:

  1. A local bird theme. Example room names could include birds that frequent the Hospice’s garden and hold significance to patients and their families, such as robins.
  2. An orchard theme. Example room names could include the fruit trees in the orchard that several of the Hospice’s in-patient rooms overlook.
  3. A flower theme. Example room names could include flowers that grow in the Hospice’s garden and in the open gardens across West Kent and East Sussex.
  4. A numbers or letters theme. Room names would be numbered or lettered for simplicity.

Morag Harvey, Hospice in the Weald’s Director of Transformation & Improvement, said: “Our building at Pembury has served our community for many years, but it is now in need of significant repair and modernisation. Some parts have remained unchanged since we opened in 1998. The layout, infrastructure, and facilities no longer meet the standards we believe people deserve at the end of life.

“We are excited to be able to create a new look in-patient ward for patients and their families that will continue to meet their care needs now and well into the future.

“We’d love for the community to help us choose a theme for the names of the 15 rooms in the ward. Each room will keep its number for practical purposes, but the themed names will help create a more welcoming and memorable space for patients and families. We hope the chosen theme and subsequent room names will add warmth and individuality to the in–patient ward.”
