DEMENTIA CARE
All our professional carers are trained in how to care for someone
living with dementia and use a range of best practice techniques.
These techniques are used to provide reassurance, minimise anxiety and calm behaviours,
whilst reducing the need to use anti-psychotic drugs used widely in many care home
settings. This means a person can live well, despite the challenges dementia can present
with the gentle encouragement and compassionate care provided by our professional carers.
Our approach to dementia care is based on best practice and research using a number of
tools, including the SPECAL method, which enables our carer to discover and understand what
is important to the person living with dementia. This enables our Care Manager to develop a
purposeful and meaningful programme of care. Our care teams receive on-going coaching,
mentoring and support based on latest thinking and research that ensure they have the
knowledge, skills and aptitude to deliver positive dementia care.
We adopt a blended approach to delivery of dementia care, led and supported by our own
Consultant Admiral Nurse. The support from an Admiral Nurse, working with leading dementia
charity, Dementia UK means we can offer unrivalled levels of emotional and practical support
based on best practice dementia care to those living with dementia and their families.
