Dementia Care
What is Dementia?
Dementia is an umbrella term used to describe a range of progressive neurological disorders, that is, conditions affecting the brain. There are over 200 subtypes of dementia, but the five most common are: Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies, frontotemporal dementia and mixed dementia.
The NHS states that symptoms of dementia can include memory loss, difficulty concentrating, confusion and struggling with everyday tasks, and different forms of dementia can present slightly different symptoms.
A person with dementia will need more care and support as their condition progresses, and there may come a time when moving into a care home is the best option. We understand that dementia is different for everyone, so the care our residents receive is too.
Our My World Pathway to Dementia Care
From the Living in My World training for our team members, investing in specialist living environments to looking after our resident’s care and wellbeing in terms of the hobbies they enjoy and the food they love to eat, we tailor every detail no matter how big or small. Our dementia care and our unique My World approach is best described through the videos and stories on our Dementia Hub.
In all of our homes, we promise to never lose sight of the reality of what it means to be someone living with dementia, we see the person behind it and help them live the life they want, to the full.
