Dementia Care

We are thrilled to be able to provide Dementia Care in a dedicated unit at Hazelwood Care Home, where the needs of those living with dementia are satisfied. Our Dementia Care team has all undergone thorough, specialised training in dealing with all aspects and severity levels of dementia.

Our carers and activity coordinators go above and beyond, collaborating with dementia residents and their loved ones to identify activities and therapies that are appropriate for their specific needs and to help them thrive, as we recognise the benefits of living a content life for those living with a life-changing illness.

What is Dementia Care?

Dementia is a long-term illness that affects a number of mental functions, including speech issues and memory loss. With the proper care and attention, those living with dementia can continue to live their lives to the fullest while participating in their favourite activities. When it comes to residents, our goal is to assist them to maintain their sense of self and independence for as long as possible. At Hazelwood Care Home, we recognise that no two people with dementia are alike and that although some may only require modest assistance in managing their everyday lives, others may require much more.

Our Approach to Dementia Care

Our primary goal is to make each resident feel relaxed and at home in their new residence, as well as to supply them with anything they require. Because of our extensive dementia care knowledge and experience working with people who have suffered or are currently suffering from memory loss, our outstanding staff can provide unsurpassed care in a warm and safe environment. On the first floor of our home, we have a sensory room that is used extensively by our residents with dementia, as it proves to have benefits in developing communication skills, improving focus, and providing a calming atmosphere. We strive to provide treatment that helps each individual to achieve their best potential and live a happy and comfortable life.
