Our exceptional staff consistently goes above and beyond, collaborating with residents who are living with dementia and their families to identify activities and therapies that align with their distinct needs. We actively encourage individual well-being by curating positive and enjoyable experiences for everyone involved.

Understanding Dementia Care

Dementia refers to a significant decline in memory that can profoundly impact a person’s capacity to carry out their daily routines.

Providing care for individuals with dementia involves assisting with personal hygiene, helping with everyday tasks, and offering general care to promote their overall happiness and well-being. It’s important to recognise that each person experiencing dementia is unique, and care and support should be tailored to their specific needs.

Our Dementia Care service is specifically crafted to help residents maintain their independence and individuality, ensuring social engagement and nurturing relationships within our community.
