Capulet Care
Creating the Motivation For Life within our Specialist Homes, caring for people living with complex mental health needs.
Welcome
Capulet Care is a leading specialist care provider for adults over 45 who are living with dementia and a range of other complex mental health, social and behavioural care needs.
As a Centre of Excellence, we consistently conduct research into the most innovative methods and ground-breaking approaches to care delivery. We embed this into our homes practice as standard, training and supporting staff to expand on their knowledge and investing in them to undertake continuous professional development.
Currently Capulet Care has two South Staffordshire based care homes. The organisation was formed by CEO Juliet Briggs, who has a passion for improved quality of care and blue-sky thinking. Her persistence to ensure her clients continue to live life to the fullest, has been a key factor in embedding the company’s ethos ‘Creating The Motivation For Life’ is enforced.
Led by a team of diversely experienced Senior Managers, a multitude of highly skilled Nurses and an intensively trained care department within each home, Capulet Care offers a second-to-none service which places focus on the person, not the disease, resulting in praise and support from Psychiatrists, GPs, Continuing Healthcare.
Assessors and local authorities, who have positively acknowledged the changes that are being made to the lives of clients.
Metavasi – A Unique Model of Care
Capulet Care have developed and introduced ‘Metavasi Care’ – A new model of care which features the reduction of antipsychotic medication, the introduction of therapeutic prescriptions and an upskilled workforce to manage behaviour and personality in a contemporary way.
Juliet supported Wellbeing Manager Caron Rogers, to complete a Master’s degree in Dementia Studies at Stirling University. During her studies, Caron commenced the journey to “make life good” for the people living within Capulet’s nursing homes. By thinking laterally and looking at what could be achieved without medication, those clients who were previously difficult to manage have gone through a massive period of transformation in their behaviours and what they can achieve.
Once qualified, Caron took on the role of Dementia Services Specialist for the company, helping the workforce to understand and effectively practice Metavasi Care as standard, and ensuring strong links with the external multi-disciplinary team.
The biggest accolade when looking after people with severely impaired cognition is succeeding in reaching the person trapped inside their mind, alleviating their frustrations and observing the changes in their behaviour and recognition. Seeing the transformation as a new, happier person begins to emerge, shows how Metavasi care really does work.
The positive response we have had from both families and professionals, spurs the organisation on further as a wider team, to look towards the future of people with these types of issues. The Capulet mission is to assist clients to ‘live a life again’, without the need for debilitating medication – Promoting the correct approach and support through the Metavasi model of care.
