Our care / Dementia care
Dementia care
Familiar faces, calm routines and carers who understand dementia, so your relative can stay safe and settled in the home they know.
What is dementia care?
For many people living with dementia, staying at home makes a real difference. Familiar rooms, belongings and routines can ease confusion and anxiety. Dementia care gives them the support they need to stay there safely, for as long as possible.
We keep the same small team of carers with each person wherever we can, because a familiar face matters. Our carers are trained to work with memory loss: gentle prompts, calm routines and activities that bring back good memories. Dementia affects everyone differently and changes over time, so we review the care plan regularly and adapt it.
We know it’s hard on families too. We keep you informed and involved, and we’re always at the end of the phone.
