What is Dementia Care?

Dementia is a progressive condition that can affect memory, speech, and cognitive abilities, often making everyday life more difficult. However, with the right care, people living with dementia can continue to enjoy a fulfilling and meaningful life.

Our dementia care focuses on supporting residents to maintain their independence and sense of self for as long as possible. We encourage participation in activities that spark enjoyment, encourage connection, and promote overall well-being, while ensuring residents always feel safe and supported.

And we do our best to help you to live your life in the way that you choose.
