What is Dementia Care?

Dementia is a progressive neurological condition that impacts mental functions such as memory, speech, problem-solving, and behaviour. It can also affect emotional wellbeing and the ability to carry out daily tasks. A diagnosis of dementia can feel overwhelming for individuals and their families, but with the right care and support, those living with dementia can continue to lead a fulfilling and meaningful life. Dementia care within a care home environment provides 24-hour expert support, creating a safe and nurturing space where individuals can receive the personalised assistance they need while maintaining dignity and independence.

At Oakbank Care Home, we understand that every individual experiences dementia differently. That’s why each resident benefits from a tailored care plan that is designed to reflect their specific needs, preferences, and life history. These personalised plans help us provide care that not only addresses medical and practical needs but also supports emotional wellbeing and encourages engagement in familiar activities.
