Our primary specialism is in dementia. There are over 100 variants of dementia, and we have residents with Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, Korsakoff and other types of dementia.
Unfortunately, dementia in its more advanced stages can lead to residents displaying behavioural difficulties. This is why we have specialist EMI and Dementia Units, so we can accommodate most forms of diagnosis in a safe and appropriate environment.
We are seeing growing numbers of residents with diabetes and we can help to manage that diagnosis. Preparing and cooking food from a varied nutritional menu on site is important is an advantage in caring for residents with diabetes.
Please talk to us and we will arrange a tour and have a discussion around the most appropriate care package for yours or your loved one’s illness or diagnosis.
