The Care Plan is person centred and is established with valuable input from the resident/patient, their family and or significant other. It is important that we understand and continue the routines of home and learn more about our resident’s hobbies likes and dislikes. We aim to provide for our resident a complete range of services that reflect the individual’s needs and circumstances. The focus of the Centre is to provide a centre of excellence for all in our care.

                                      

Dementia Care

Residents with Dementia/Alzheimer’s and related conditions are cared for in a specially designed unit within a secured and protected setting. Staff are specially trained in the care of those with memory impairment and behavioural problems associated with this condition. Residents can engage in activities to meet their needs, interest and attention span. Activities are physically, creatively, musically, spiritually and socially stimulating. These success orientated activities focus on what the resident can still do, rather than what they can't.
