Dementia Care

Life at The Amwell Care Home in Leicestershire is built on the belief that everyone deserves to live as independently as possible, surrounded by support, comfort, and compassion. As a care home in Leicestershire offering low-level dementia care, we actually tailor our approach to each resident, whether they need a little extra help or more specialist support. For those living with dementia, our aim is simple – to help them get the very best out of each day, with the right care in place whenever it’s needed.

Care homes support those living with dementia in many different ways, and here at The Amwell, our dedicated Nightingales Community provides low-level dementia care in a calm and familiar space. With the same friendly faces every day and a team that’s specially trained in dementia care, we do all we can to reduce confusion, build trust, and create a homely atmosphere. From wide, easy-to-navigate corridors to gentle activities and the sound of music drifting from the piano lounge, we’ve created a place where residents can feel safe, connected, and genuinely at home.

What is Dementia Care?

Our approach to care is intended to help maintain resident’s sense of self and independence for as long as possible.

Here at The Amwell Care Home, we recognise that no two individuals are the same and while some may only require modest assistance in managing their daily lives while living with Dementia, others may require much more support. 

All residents are welcomed into our home where they will experience high-levels of care and compassion through active, enjoyable days and relaxing evenings where everything is taken care of.

Together with family and loved ones our staff take time to get to know our residents in order to create an accurate picture of their life, in order to enhance their ongoing happiness, comfort, and well-being.

Ensuring Dementia Care, Always

Our teams receive ongoing training in the most up-to-date dementia approaches and research techniques, ensuring that only the highest level of care is being provided.

The SSSC Promoting Excellence framework details the knowledge and skills all health and social services staff should aspire to achieve in relation to the role they play in supporting people with a diagnosis of dementia, their families and carers.

We’re organising regular training for our team to ensure they’re up to date with the latest techniques and practices when working with residents who have dementia.

Dementia Care FAQs

Ahead of a resident joining The Amwell Care Home, we conduct consultations involving them and their family to make sure we can cater to their specific requirements. By collaborating with our residents and their loved ones, we learn about their daily routines, hobbies, and preferences, which we then integrate into their care plans. Our care approach revolves around the individual, aiming to help residents sustain their independence and dignity all while ensuring they’re aware we’re here to support then whenever they need us.

Our teamp participates in ongoing training to equip them with a comprehensive knowledge of the various stages of dementia. They are adept at supporting residents with activities, therapies, communication, and personal care. With their expertise and insights, we ensure effective care for our residents with dementia.

The Amwell Care Home offers a comprehensive wellbeing programme accessible to everyone, featuring both group and individual activities and therapies. For instance, we frequently organise arts and crafts sessions, music therapy, reminiscence activities, and other engaging sessions. These activities and therapies are crafted to promote the physical, cognitive, and social wellbeing of all our residents, including those living with dementia.
