Understanding dementia care
Dementia care provides 24/7 support in a safe, welcoming care home for people living with dementia. Alongside help with personal care, medication and daily routines, residents benefit from specialist support shaped around memory changes, confidence and emotional wellbeing.
For some people, residential dementia care offers the right level of day-to-day support, companionship and reassurance. Others may benefit from dementia nursing care, where qualified nurses are available around the clock to support more complex medical or changing needs.
At Orchard, our dementia care homes combine personalised support, meaningful activities and familiar routines, helping people live with dignity, purpose and as much independence as possible.
FINDING THE RIGHT TYPE OF CARE
As dementia progresses, your loved one may require additional support in day-to-day tasks, such as eating or personal hygiene. Our dementia care is designed to help people living with all types of dementia feel safe, secure and confident again.
For some people, residential dementia care provides the right level of day-to-day help, meaningful routines and social connection. For others, dementia nursing care may be more suitable when additional medical support or round-the-clock nursing is needed, while still encouraging as much independence as possible.
Our dementia care is suitable for all types of dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, frontotemporal and vascular dementia.
WHAT’S INCLUDED IN DEMENTIA CARE?
“My dad was transferred here from having spent a few weeks in another local care home. And I can honestly say what a breath of fresh air in comparison. The staff have been so welcoming and polite to us all, they’ve all spent time chatting and making him feel at ease. The care home feels loving and looked after with a homely setting and a fantastic garden area for independence. The food always looks nice and dad says it is. Thank you! ”
