When someone reaches the end of life, it’s not just about care; it’s about dignity, love, and making every moment count. At OakmanCare, our One Last Wish & Community programme is built on this simple but powerful belief: every person deserves to experience joy and connection, even in their final days.
What Are Final Wishes?
Final wishes are the small dreams or moments that mean the most to someone. It could be something as simple as visiting a park they love, hearing their favourite song performed live, or enjoying a family meal one more time. These moments may seem small, but they create priceless memories for both residents and their loved ones.
Why Do Final Wishes Matter?
Dignity and Joy: Granting a final wish reminds a person that they are more than their illness. It gives them a reason to smile and feel valued.
Emotional Healing: Families often feel peace knowing that their loved one’s final days were filled with happiness and meaningful experiences.
Community Connection: These experiences bring care teams and families together in ways that build trust and compassion.
How OakmanCare Helps
We partner with care homes to plan and deliver these experiences safely. From arranging small events to coordinating visits, we work alongside the care team to make each wish happen while ensuring all health and safety needs are met.
A Lasting Impact
One Last Wish is about giving back: showing that care is more than routine. It’s about making a real difference in someone’s life story.
