When we are caring for a person who lives with dementia, we focus on getting to know them, their likes and dislikes, and their history. We can then put together a suitable care plan that reflects their needs and wishes. As part of our dementia care we want to ensure that family and friends continue to be involved and remain a big part of the person’s life. This is because, as well as physical needs, effective care concentrates on psychological, spiritual, and social needs as well. By keeping people with dementia active and engaged, we can greatly enhance their quality of life. Our team will draw on the person’s life story and interests to keep the person occupied with a bespoke activity programme.
We have titled our dementia care strategy ‘LIFE’ because we know that, with the right care and support, people living with dementia can continue living a full and happy life.
