Dementia Care

At Harrier Grange Care Home, we are pleased to offer Dementia Care, which provides a safe, caring, and inviting environment for individuals suffering from memory loss. For residents with dementia and those closest to them, our home is intended to provide a safe, loving, and welcoming environment.

Our staff is highly trained and can recognise the signs and symptoms of dementia, and we take pride in giving the best degree of care as well as respect to every resident. Our team focuses on the resident’s specific requirements through daily planned activities, mental stimulation, and social engagement.

What is Dementia Care?

At Harrier Grange Care Home, we recognise that no two people are alike; some may just require little assistance, while others require 24-hour care. Our person-centred approach to care is intended to foster a feeling of individuality in each of our residents and to encourage them to continue to use their strengths and skill sets. Dementia care often focuses solely on the condition and associated loss of function, rather than the person. Our experience has taught us that people with dementia respond far better when their treatment encourages independence whilst allowing them to live each day with dignity and respect.

Dementia Care at Harrier Grange Care Home

We recognise the weight of responsibility that comes with choosing a residential care facility for everyone concerned. Not only does our specialised Dementia Care team at Harrier Grange Care Home receive ongoing training in dementia research and techniques, we ensure all of our team no matter the department or role are able to support our dementia residents. So you can be assured that your loved one is receiving the best possible care

Residents in Dementia Care must be exposed to stimulating activities, have support when eating and personal care assistance. We also recognise that people with dementia may have a different perspective on the world than we do. As a result, from our bedrooms to shared areas and every space in between, we pay close attention to the features and design of the care home.

Our commitment lies in preserving their independence and dignity, with the assurance that our support is readily accessible.
