Dementia Care
At SheffCare we understand dementia and offer a specialised dementia care service, whether the dementia is in its early stages or is more advanced.
A diagnosis of any form of dementia often comes as a shock, and it can sometimes be difficult to get the support and advice you need. At Sheffcare, the key to our strategy in caring for people with dementia is to focus on the person rather than the illness, to help them live with dementia rather than just suffer from it. It is important to maintain one's independence for as long as is possible.
It's also important to realise that once the condition is recognised people with dementia can live supported independent lives. Over time, the person with dementia will need more support and eventually it is likely that residential care will be needed.
Of course It is natural to feel worried but you are not alone, talk with your G.P. or alternatively, one of our dedicated Registered Managers who are experienced in providng dementia care. You are under no obligation and need make no commitment but it will help you to make a plan by talking to someone who understands. Their contact details are as follows :
Each of our specialised dementia care homes offer a safe and secure environment. We staff the homes with a suitably qualified care team and use modern technology in order that all our residents can feel settled and aware of their surroundings. We encourage family members of people with dementia to get involved in the formulation of a personalised care plan for their loved ones.
Although the homes detailed above have particular expertise in providing dementia care, all of our Managers have experience in caring for people living with dementia so, if you prefer to look at another one of SheffCare's homes, talk to the Manager and they will advise you as to what you or a loved one may need.
