At Martha Trust, we believe communication is the foundation of person-centred care. Our goal is to empower each resident to express themselves and make choices throughout the day—whether it’s deciding what to wear, what to eat, or which activities to enjoy. For many, the ability to communicate brings not just freedom, but dignity. One transformative outcome is the ability to tell us when they’re in pain—helping us adjust medication and treatments with care and precision.
For individuals who are non-verbal, our bespoke communication programme has opened powerful new possibilities. Step-by-step personalised plans are developed around each resident’s abilities, allowing them to engage meaningfully, build confidence, and connect with others.
One of the most life-changing tools we use is eye gaze technology. This computer-based system enables residents to communicate simply by looking at a screen—giving them a voice where none existed before and helping nurture their relationships with loved ones and carers.
