Dementia Care

'Memory Lane' utilises a careful blend of skills and techniques developed by leading experts in the field of dementia care, incorporating person-centred design in its use of colour and cues to help individuals navigate through the home, whilst thoughtful interior design features, such us adapted crockery and tableware assists with reminiscence. Communities are broken up into separate units with a family feel so people can feel safe and comfortable. Care is focused on independence, dignity and choice, with a person-centred approach. Staffing levels reflect the needs of residents, and people living with dementia are offered a range of activities to help preserve life skills, support interactions and retain a sense of purpose and selfhood.

Ashford House works hard to ensure that a wide range of mentally and physically stimulating activities are available to residents, including work on life boxes (reminiscence aids and reminders of life history), sessions with daily newspapers, puzzles, cooking and baking, accessing the garden and summer house, visits from ‘Pets as Therapy’ dogs, reminiscence work based on objects of interest and spending time listening and dancing to music.

We are proud of the elderly care we offer to people living with dementia at our nursing home and we like to help if we can. We welcome visitors and callers!
