Person-Centred Care – At Willow Grange, our facilities have been specially adapted to meet the unique needs of our dementia residents. Our focus is to keep our patients mentally and physically stimulated as much as possible, maintaining their independence and dignity first and foremost.

Listen to their story – Dementia residents tend to find that memories from the past are clear and it is just the more recent memories that they have sadly lost. Our team works hard to ensure we fully understand each individual’s history, family, and preferences so that we can tailor our care and activities appropriately.

Who Makes the Decision?

It’s common for those with dementia to resist the idea of moving to a care home. Whilst we encourage all of our residents to maintain their independence where they can, if an individual requires 24/7 care, this can be difficult to carry out at home. We advise you to listen to your loved ones’ concerns and, with the right support, they may understand why choosing a care home is the best decision for them.

How Do You Know if Someone Needs Dementia Care?

Deciding how to best care for a loved one with dementia can be extremely challenging. Dementia is progressive, meaning the person with the condition will likely require more care and support as time goes on. Signs it might be time for your loved one to move into a specialist dementia care home like Willow Grange include frequent hospital admissions, concerns over their safety and unmanageable behaviour.
