Dementia encompasses a variety of progressive brain conditions, each impacting specific areas of cognitive function, including memory, thinking, and speech. At Wyncourt, we provide care for residents at various stages of dementia. However, it's important to note that we are not a specialised dementia care facility. This means that while we strive to accommodate the needs of individuals with dementia, our home may not be suitable for everyone with this condition.
As we are not purpose-built for dementia care, our layout may not fully meet the needs of residents with dementia. Our facility is not secured, with open stairways and kitchen areas, which may pose risks for individuals prone to wandering or those who have difficulty assessing risks. Additionally, our staff are not specifically trained to manage residents exhibiting distressed behaviors that maybe associated with dementia.
If you're considering dementia care for your loved one, we encourage you to reach out to our management team. We can discuss your loved one's specific care needs and determine together whether Wyncourt is the best fit for them.
