What To Expect From Dementia Care at Our Leicestershire Care Home

Our approach to memory care is intended to help maintain residents’ 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 elderly memory care facility, 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.

Ongoing Dementia Training for Our Care Team

Our residential care team are always going through new training, to ensure that they are able to provide knowledgeable dementia care to our residents, as our team can become more aware of the simple changes that need to be made in their practice and environment to improve the lives of those living with dementia.

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 are living with dementia.
