Dementia Care

The Fleet Care Home is proud to provide Dementia Care in Devon in a luxury, purpose-built environment. Our approach goes beyond simply meeting care needs, but strives to care for the health, wellbeing and interests of our residents as a whole. We work closely with residents and their families to create a detailed and bespoke care plan to ensure consistency of care.

Our teams go above and beyond in all they do, working with our residents who live with dementia and their families to discover activities and therapies that are suited to their unique requirements. We promote individual wellbeing through positive and enjoyable experiences for all.

Defining Dementia Care

Dementia is the decline in memory or other thinking skills, severe enough to reduce a person’s ability to perform everyday activities. Supporting those living with Dementia encompasses supporting personal care, daily living tasks and general care to ensure overall happiness and wellbeing. Dementia care and support in a care home is designed to support residents in maintaining independence and individuality, encouraging social activity, and building relationships within the home. Here at The Fleet Care Home, we provide person-centred care to those with low level dementia needs.

Dementia Care FAQs

Before a resident becomes a part of The Fleet Care Home family, we initiate consultations with both them and their family, ensuring we fully understand their needs. We actively engage with our residents and their loved ones to find out about their everyday routines, likes, and preferences, which we incorporate into their care plans. Our care ethos revolves around each resident as an individual, with the aim of encouraging residents to uphold their independence and dignity, coupled with the reassurance of our team being here for them at all times.

Our team dedicated to dementia care receives regular training to ensure they possess a wide-ranging understanding of the different phases of dementia. From helping residents engage in activities and therapies to supporting their communication and personal care, our teams boast the necessary experience and knowledge to deliver proficient care to our residents with dementia.

At The Fleet Care Home, we present a holistic wellbeing programme that caters to everyone, encompassing both group and one-on-one activities and therapies. As an example, we regularly conduct arts and crafts sessions, music therapy, reminiscence activities, and more.
