Dementia Care

In the context of dementia care, our approach is centred around adapting our caregiving strategies to meet the needs of the individual.

Our team is trained to offer support without judgement, creating an environment of dignity and respect for all individuals. This compassionate and personalised approach ensures that those with dementia receive the highest quality of care, enhancing their quality of life and fostering a supportive atmosphere.

CQC Stated:

”This service provides care and support to people living in 3 ‘supported living’ settings, so that they can live as independently as possible. People’s care and housing are provided under separate contractual agreements. CQC does not regulate premises used for supported living; this inspection looked at people’s personal care and support.

A registered manager is a person who has registered with the Care Quality Commission to manage the service. Registered managers and providers are legally responsible for how the service is run, for the quality and safety of the care provided and compliance with regulations.

At the time of our inspection there was a registered manager in post.

We spoke with 2 people who used the service, 5 relatives and 2 representatives about their experience of the care provided. We spoke with 11 staff members including the provider, the registered manager, the deputy manager, 1 team leader, 6 support workers and the administrator.

We reviewed a range of records. This included 4 people’s care records and medication records. We looked at 3 staff files in relation to recruitment and staff supervision. A variety of records relating to the management of the service, including policies and procedures, training data and quality assurance records were reviewed.
