Dementia Care

At Manor Grange Care Home, we recognise the complexities of dementia and the profound effect it has on individuals and their loved ones. Our dementia care services provide a safe and welcoming environment where each resident receives personalised support. Our approach centres on understanding every individual’s journey and creating a care plan that fosters comfort, dignity, and reassurance.

Our Nurses, Care Assistants and Activity Coordinators work tirelessly to ensure residents feel secure and valued, offering care that builds meaningful relationships and encourages a sense of familiarity. Dementia-specific activities are thoughtfully designed to promote cognitive stimulation, emotional well-being, and social interaction for individuals living with dementia. These activities are tailored to residents’ abilities, preferences, and life histories to create meaningful and engaging experiences.

What is Dementia Care?

Dementia is a long-term illness that impacts mental functions in a variety of ways, including difficulties with speech and memory loss in older people. Dementia care addresses the unique challenges posed by memory loss, difficulty with communication, and changes in behaviour, while ensuring residents’ physical and emotional well-being are nurtured. We help those living with dementia to continue to live their lives to the fullest whilst participating in their favourite activities.

Our goal in caring for residents is to help them preserve their sense of self and independence for and we understand that no two people living with dementia are the same, and that although some people with dementia may only require minor assistance in managing their daily life, others may require considerably more. Our priority is to provide a secure yet empowering atmosphere, ensuring every resident receives care tailored to their specific circumstances, helping them live with dignity and comfort.
