Dementia Care

The home's specialist Memory Lane Community 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.

Care at Springvale Court is based around careful assessment and care planning, carried out with the individual concerned and their relatives. These regularly reviewed care plans allow us to tailor activities, diet and medical care to meet personal needs.

We are always pleased to welcome visitors to Springvale Court and we are happy to provide advice when we can.
