Bright Moments

Offering effective innovation in the care of those affected by dementia & Alzheimer’s.

Bright Moments is a program of care specifically designed for hospice patients with end-stage dementia (ESD).

It is based on the belief that more can be done for and with dementia patients to generate positive outcomes.

Knowing that family members and caregivers often struggle with the challenges of late-stage dementia, Bristol Hospice created Bright Moments – an innovative approach – designed to support patients, family, staff and physicians.

Sweet Dreams

Sweet Dreams is based upon the belief that a compassionate presence the provision of a care plan devoted to end of day sleep rituals and comfort can result in enhanced patient satisfaction.

The Sweet Dreams service is an included part of the hospice benefit and is provided in the hours leading up to bedtime.

Through creation of a nurturing and soothing environment our Bristol Hospice team can deliver an individualized night time routine that facilitates sleep and comfort at the end of the day.
