Dementia Care
Although Abbotts Barton is not a dementia home, we are committed to supporting our residents to live meaningful and fulfilled lives, and that includes those living with the earlier stages of dementia or cognitive impairment. Symptoms that can include short term memory loss, difficulty concentrating and changes in mood are understood and supported by our care teams.
Living Well With Dementia
According to the Alzheimer’s Society, around 70% of all care home residents are living with a form of dementia or significant cognitive impairment. Our team is trained to understand the complexities of dementia care, aware that everyone is at a different place in their dementia journey.
Residents’ individual care plans – ‘All About Me’ – recognise this individual journey, and families meet with the home team to review these plans on a regular basis, making adjustments where needed to align care at all levels to any changing dementia needs.
Our homes are able to collaborate and liaise with local services in order to support our residents and their loved ones in identifying cognitive impairment, diagnosis and ongoing care and support.
We always have a ‘can do’ attitude and aim to make every day a fulfilled day.
Dedicated Dementia Care
While our home is perfectly positioned to care for residents with the earlier stages of dementia, there may come a time for some people when their symptoms become more complex.
Transitions to a dedicated dementia community, or any move within care, can evoke feelings of apprehension. Colten Care is one of the very few care providers nationally that host an Admiral Nurse, in partnership with the charity Dementia UK. Kay is able to support residents and families in assessing and identifying whether this is truly the best move and if so, able to aid in making any transition as smooth as possible.
In these circumstances, arranging dedicated, specialist care is the right thing to do for residents and their families. A dedicated dementia care setting can be a highly positive step to take.
At Colten Care we have five Dedicated Dementia communities that were purpose-built, from the very first design idea, purely for people living dementia. They provide stimulating and engaging environments where residents can live life at their own pace, maintaining a sense of purpose, independence and belonging, with care teams that have in-depth training in dementia. Most importantly, we can ensure continuity of care if a resident needs to transition into a dedicated dementia facility.
