Dementia care

Dementia is different for everyone, so the care we give to our residents is tailored too. Our care is led by residents, not by a routine. Every member of our team has undergone dementia training to understand what it’s like to live with dementia and how best to comfort someone who has dementia.

At Hartismere Place, we enable residents to maintain the quality of living they enjoy and sometimes even improve residents physically. We have found when people come to our home their appetite improves and they are more engaged, through holistic approaches such as namaste care which involves a range of physical, sensory, and emotional approaches.

Understanding and getting to know you

We take the time to get to know you and your loved one; this starts from our very first conversation. We get to know what will settle them when moving in and little things they appreciate, such as if they have orange juice with their tablets or the genre of music they listen to. 

We find out everything about them, their life story and personality, so we know what will calm them and ensure they are happy. No two days are the same for residents at Hartismere Place.

Providing dementia friendly environments

Our immediate surroundings can have a huge impact on our quality of life. Hartismere Place has been purpose built with dementia in mind. Open spaces and dementia friendly colours allow residents to move around the home independently; however, our dedicated team is on hand around the clock, providing discreet support and assistance.

The residents on our dementia suite can enjoy their own dedicated garden, a space to enjoy and a place where they have their say on how they would like it to look.

Our dedicated people and their expertise

Our people are chosen because of their passion, attitude, and caring nature. We have a multi-skilled team who have training in more than one area. Every individual is dedicated and will go above and beyond for the residents. Relationships and communication are what we pride ourselves on at Hartismere Place. 

Our specialist training gives our team a better understanding of how dementia affects the brain, and this helps the team relate to residents and give the best care possible. We also have champions at Hartismere that can provide advice and support on key areas.
