Dementia Care

Most of our homes have a specialised service for people living with dementia.

For those living with dementia, our dementia programme is designed to focus on a person’s key strengths, helping residents live active and fulfilling lives. People experiencing dementia can have difficulty communicating, which in turn can lead to a sense of isolation. Our dementia programme is there to help find ways in which they can re-engage with their families, friends and the community as a whole. It has been formulated by our dementia care specialists and is constantly informed by the most up-to-date research available.

In essence our approach is to gain an insight into our residents life stories through recollections of family members. This enables positive connections and purposeful moments through everyday interactions with both family and carers; through our organised reminiscence and sensory based activities, as well as through community involvement too. These histories are incorporated into the care plans of each individual and shared across all our carers.

Chosen for their caring and compassionate nature, staff working in dementia care are also selected on the basis of their enthusiasm and positive disposition, individuals who can brighten the dullest of days and make us all feel special. Our Dementia Nurses fully support care staff and regularly reviews new research to ensure we introduce the most innovative thinking into our homes for the benefit of our residents and their families.

Where it is safe to do so, we encourage residents from our dementia residents to mix freely with residents from our other floors.

We understand that every resident deserves care tailored to their individual needs and communication is at the heart of this. We invest in the relationships all our carers hold with our residents ensuring that privacy, independence and dignity are priorities.

Types of Care:

Nursing Care

Nursing Care is for people with more complex healthcare needs and rehabilitation which cannot be provided at home or in a residential setting and the service requires the supervision of fully qualified nurses. The service could include frequent and complex medication regimes; regular wound care which can only be provided under the supervision of a qualified nurse where constant assessment, monitoring and care planning is essential.

Nursing staff are available 24 hours a day seven days a week who specialise in providing therapeutic and enabling care for our residents and are supported by teams of highly skilled healthcare workers who assist with all aspects of personal care and support to ensure our residents receive the very best care and attention.

Our approach to nursing care is based on the use of personalised care plans. Drawn up with the individuals we support and their families, our care plans will help ensure that each person we look after is treated with respect and that their independence and choices are maximised.

Types of Care:

Residential Care

Also referred to as Personal Care and Assisted Living, this service is for people aged 50 and above who require support with the activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, medication supervision, cooking, cleaning, and mobility which can no longer be managed at home. Many residents also choose to live with us simply because they no longer want to live alone or to shoulder the burden of maintaining their own home. Care for this group of residents is simply about peace of mind, and our care homes are able to provide a place where they are able to flourish; making friends and exploring new interests.

The activity programmes provided by our care teams are tailored to meet peoples residential care needs and capabilities – and are thoroughly enjoyed! These include gardening, baking, outings, gentle exercise, pet care and life-skills work. Other specialist activities such as reminiscence therapy, music therapy and complimentary therapies are also a part of our activities programmes.

Types of Care:

Respite Care

Everyone deserves time out. Whether you care for a relative or are in need of care yourself, taking a break from your usual routine can do the world of good.
Respite care is a service for people who wish to stay with us on a short term basis. This can be for people who need a little extra support whilst recovering from an illness or operation and can be for one week or a few months. Respite stays can also be arranged to give the carer of someone who is unable to look after them-selves a well-earned rest.

Whatever the reason we want our respite residents to enjoy a wide variety of recreation and leisure pursuits, and to indulge themselves in our delicious and nutritionally balanced home cooked meals prepared in-house by our resident chef. It is an opportunity to meet new friends and we guarantee a very warm welcome by our friendly and reliable staff. Many respite residents, having first sampled home life through a respite period of care, do in fact end up staying permanently. It is a great way to sample the standard of care on offer.

Our inclusive approach is applied to all our respite residents no matter how short their stay is and we aim to ensure that they maintain their independence and freedom of choice whilst providing them with the security of around-the-clock support to ensure optimum peace of mind.

The perfect location
Many of our homes are set in beautiful countryside locations and are ideal destinations for respite breaks or a short stay while a carer is on holiday.

Meeting individuals' needs
Our aim is to provide seamless continuity of care and our well-trained staff work hard to ensure that everyone's personal preferences are respected.

Prior to admission, the care home manager will arrange to meet you in the convenience of your own home, or at the care home. We then assess your care needs, start to get to know you and your likes and dislikes and then tailor a care plan to suit you.

Respite care is available at the majority of our homes, depending on availability and care required. please see our homes and call to enquire.
