Dementia is a term used to cover a range of progressive disorders affecting the brain. Arguably the best known is Alzheimer’s disease.
Essentially a person suffering from Dementia will have difficulty remembering things, making it increasingly difficult to carry out basic tasks. Each person will have their own unique behaviour, thereby requiring a personalized care plan.
Our staff are experienced in supporting with people suffering from Dementia. We undertake a thorough assessment of the clients needs. We do this by liaising with the family and other professionals in order to fully understand the clients needs. We will then assemble a care team to meet with the client and family and agree a care package.
