The High-Wheeled Adventures of Paul Graham

The Extraordinary Life of a Somerset Care Home Family Member and the Power of Identity Paul Graham has ridden a penny farthing across the Himalayas, had a private audience with the Dalai Lama, and cycled into the pedestrianised heart of Venice without a second thought. He has been a cricket club member for 61 years, helped rebuild a pilgrim hostel in Spain, and once brought home a wheelchair belonging to the King of Spain. His love story began with a secret bottle of wine and a handwritten letter sent from Australia.

He is also living with Alzheimer's.

But at Catherine House Care Home in Frome, Somerset, that is not the first thing you would know about him. Walk into his room and you see a penny farthing ornament on the wall, a collection of photographs, and a cricket book on the side table, still being read. The team took the time to learn Paul's story and helped to decorate around it. To anyone walking in, it says straight away, this is Paul's room, and this is Paul.

That is what Catherine House Care Home does for every person who comes to live there, take the time to find out who they are, and make sure that person is still present in the space around them.
