State-of-the-Art Dementia Care Unit Opening Soon

The Fleet Care Home, a leading provider of luxury care in Dartmouth, is thrilled to announce the upcoming opening of its new, advanced dementia care unit. Located on the top floor of the home, this specialised wing will offer 15 private en-suite bedrooms designed to provide a secure, comfortable, and enriching environment for those living with dementia.

Damon Drummond, Manager of The Fleet Care Home, shared his excitement: "Our team is eagerly anticipating the opening of this unit. We've poured our hearts into creating a space that's not only beautiful but truly supportive for those navigating the challenges of dementia. We know this will make a significant difference in the lives of individuals and families in Dartmouth and the surrounding South Devon area."

State-of-the-Art Design and Compassionate Care

The new unit features innovative design elements specifically tailored to the needs of individuals with dementia. These include:

  • Sensory gardens and calming spaces to reduce anxiety and promote relaxation.
  • Personalised lighting and sound systems to create a soothing atmosphere.
  • Wandering paths and secure outdoor areas to ensure safety and freedom of movement.
  • Spacious and comfortable common areas for socialisation and activities.

The Fleet's dementia care unit will boast a dedicated team of highly trained and compassionate caregivers specialising in dementia care. They will offer personalised care plans, engaging activities, and evidence-based therapeutic interventions to help residents maintain their cognitive abilities and emotional well-being. We recognise the importance of family involvement and will offer support groups and educational resources to help families through this journey.
