Dementia Care

What is Dementia Care?

Caring and making the decision to put someone you love into a Dementia Care Home is probably one of the hardest decisions you will ever have to make but there comes a time when it is your only option, and that is okay.

Here at Penerley Lodge we are specially trained with the knowledge and expertise to help and guide you every step of the way.

Our approach to dementia care is that we embrace that everyone is different and we have strong beliefs that whatever likes, dislikes, histories, skills and achievements, these are maintained and each resident remains who they are irrespective of if they are living with dementia.

Penerley Lodge strives to achieve a relaxed, safe and nurturing environment, we have specialist signage guiding residents’ to the main lounge, hairdressing room, zen area, conservatory and their own bedrooms all of which promote ongoing independence.

We also encourage all of our residents to take part in appropriate activities this can help provide them with a sense of meaning. The activities also provide them with ways to communicate, expression and imagination as well as engaging with others. At Penerley Lodge we have a dedicated Lifestyle Co-Ordinator who creates fun and meaningful activities taking everyone’s likes and dislikes into consideration. We also have musical entertainment who come into the home and perform for our residents taking them back to a special and happy time in their lives that they often enjoy reminiscing on.
