Dementia Care

Our approach to dementia care

We care for people living with dementia, and the home has its own Dementia Champion. Practical things make the biggest difference: an interactive sensory table, companion pets and fiddle mats for comfort and reassurance, reminiscence areas, and a familiar routine that removes a great deal of anxiety before it starts. We keep families closely involved throughout.

Dementia changes how a person experiences the world, but it does not change their need for warmth, dignity and familiarity. Our dementia care is built around the person in front of us, on the day we are with them, rather than around the diagnosis.

That means a calm environment, a gentle and predictable rhythm to the day, and a team who meet each resident with patience, never rushing or correcting them. Small things, a familiar object, a favourite song, a known face, do enormous good.

Questions about dementia care

Is the home designed for people living with dementia?

Yes. The environment is designed to support people living with dementia, with clear wayfinding, familiar surroundings, safe access to the garden and a calm, unhurried atmosphere throughout the day.

Do your staff understand dementia?

Dementia is one of the specialisms on our CQC registration, and our team support people living with it every day. If you want the specifics of the training staff receive, ask us and we will tell you.

How do you support families of people with dementia?

Dementia affects the whole family. We keep you closely involved, explain what we are seeing, and offer guidance and reassurance. You are never on the outside looking in.

What if my relative becomes distressed or unsettled?

Our team respond gently and look for the cause of distress, rather than simply managing the behaviour. A calm environment and familiar routine prevent a great deal of anxiety before it begins.
