Working with Residents

Dementia is a progressive illness affecting the brain, the most common type of dementia is Alzheimer’s disease, but there are other types of dementia such as Vascular Dementia, Lewy Body dementia, frontal temporal lobe and mixed dementia.

They will affect individuals in different ways but all have a profound effect on the individual’s ability in the following ways:

  • Cognitive function – ability to understand their surroundings and what is expected of them.
  • Memory Loss – unable to retain recent events and unable to recognise their loved ones or themselves.
  • Speech and communication difficulties.
  • Loss of daily living skills – washing & dressing, sequencing clothing, eating and drinking etc.
  • General confusion – altered perception of, and interaction with the environment and objects around them.

Specialist Support

Making the decision to move into the home can be very stressful and distressing with feelings of guilt around letting your loved one down. It is important to understand there can be huge benefits of moving into a home for someone living with dementia for example:

24 hour Support From Professionally Trained Staff.

Being encouraged to participate in activities designed to support their social and emotional wellbeing.

Staff understanding when they are anxious/distressed and supporting them at these times.

Meeting new friends and forming new relationships with other residents and staff.

Peacock Medicare believes that moving into the home should not be viewed as the end of something, rather the beginning of a new chapter, by working with the residents and families in partnership with each other we can provide the best outcome for the residents.
