Every September, the world comes together to raise awareness and understanding for those living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. At Ashberry Healthcare, we fully support this initiative and are dedicated to offering compassionate, specialised care to those affected by dementia.
Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia can be distressing diagnoses, but with the right understanding and support, we help both residents and their families navigate the challenges in a home-from-home setting. Our approach to dementia care is designed to meet the unique needs of each individual, as we know that no two cases of dementia are the same.
Our trained and accredited teams provide a personalised approach, offering cognitive activities tailored to aid memory recall and care for individuals with dysphagia and other swallowing difficulties. We strive to create an environment where residents can make their own choices about their daily lives, while understanding that, in some cases, families or powers of attorney may need to step in. In such situations, we work closely with you to ensure your loved one receives the best possible support, empathy, and care.
Our homes are thoughtfully designed to meet the specific needs of those with dementia, using the latest care techniques and amenities to ensure residents feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed. We are proud of our dedicated staff, such as Becky Webber-James, who was named Dementia Carer of the Year 2023 for her exceptional work at Holmer Court.
Many of Ashberry Healthcare’s care homes are dedicated to providing exceptional dementia care, offering personalised care plans that address the unique needs of each resident. By focusing on person-centred care, we ensure that every individual living with dementia receives tailored support to live a comfortable and enriching life.
Caring for a loved one with dementia can be both physically and emotionally demanding. At Ashberry Healthcare, we understand the importance of providing family caregivers with much-needed breaks. Our respite care services offer flexible, short-term stays in a safe and nurturing environment, allowing caregivers to rest and recharge while their loved ones enjoy a supportive space to relax and recover.
With around 900,000 people currently living with dementia in the UK, and one in 14 people over the age of 65 affected, we are committed to raising awareness across our homes this month. We hope to contribute to efforts aimed at delaying or even preventing the onset of dementia. Together, we work towards a future where dementia can be better understood and managed.
If you and your loved one need a break, our dementia care team is here to help. Contact us today for more information or to schedule a visit.
