Dementia is a condition that can affect the brain’s functioning in areas of memory, communication, reasoning and ability to complete tasks.
Specialist Dementia Care
Every person living with Dementia will be affected differently, requiring an in-depth understanding of each individual in order to provide the right level of support. Balhousie Care support a growing number of residents affected by or living with this condition and our staff members are trained to support people with various types of Dementia.
We encourage our residents with Dementia to be actively involved in planning their care with the support of family, home staff and other healthcare professionals. Our approach is always to support the individual to maintain the highest level of independence, to enhance their quality of life, and maintain dignity in care. The input of families and loved ones – those who know our residents best – is crucial to that.
Caring for people with dementia
The way we dress shows personality and can help express our feelings and mood. As dementia progresses, people may need extra help and support with everyday activities including deciding what to wear. Knowing this, it’s important to encourage and enable individuals to make their own decisions.
