What Does Dementia Care Mean?

Dementia is an illness that impacts mental functionality in a number of different ways but most commonly includes difficulties with speech and memory loss in older people. With the right support and care, people living with dementia can continue to live their lives to the fullest.

At our dementia care home in Biggleswade, we acknowledge that no two people are the same, some individuals will only require minor support, while others will need considerably more. When caring for our residents, our person-centred approach aims to help them preserve their independence and sense of self for as long as possible. This includes drawing on the knowledge and experience of trained professionals, such as those in Dementia Champion roles, who play a vital part in supporting best practices in dementia care.

Our Dementia Care in Bedfordshire

Our compassionate team of specialists are trained in how to communicate effectively to help residents living with dementia express their needs and wishes. Our extensive understanding and expertise in working with people with memory loss ensure that we can offer unrivalled levels of care to those living with dementia. There is not just one solution when it comes to supporting people with dementia, this is why at Penrose Court our dementia care plans are unique to each and every person’s requirements, as well as the wants and views of their friends and family.

We’ve given great thought to how our environment affects our residents living with dementia, right down to how it’s laid out and designed. We recognise that people living with dementia may see the world differently than we do. As a result, we scrutinise every detail of our residential space from bedrooms and communal areas to colours, materials, and lighting – to help create a truly supportive dementia community.
