Every resident’s experience is unique – and oral health is no exception.

This webinar brought together Sian Ellingworth, Founder and CEO of sensory care specialist BuddiesForLife, and Robert Atherton from award-winning care home supplier CareHomeLife, for a closer look at the vital role oral care played in supporting resident health and wellbeing and the need for new approaches to sensory care.

Together, they explored why oral care matters, the everyday challenges providers face and the practical steps care teams take to promote independence while also safeguarding the comfort, dignity and long-term wellbeing of residents.

Topics included:

  • The complex relationship between oral care and resident comfort and wellbeing
  • How to ensure neurodivergent residents or those living with complex conditions like dementia have happier oral care experiences
  • Proven ways to embed oral care without compromising on resident comfort or dignity
