A Home from Home: Dementia Care in East Sussex
We try to make our residential dementia care in East Sussex a home from home
Comfort and familiarity are something we can’t compromise on when we provide residential dementia care in East Sussex, which means lots of time and effort goes into the decoration of resident’s rooms. We hate the thought of bedrooms being impersonal, clinical, and stark. A resident’s room should be their haven – somewhere they can relax and be private, just as they would at home, which is why we’re so proud that the bedrooms at Grosvenor Lodge don’t look like care home rooms at all!
When a resident joins us, we make sure we sit down with them and have a chat about how we can best make their room just that – theirs. This includes any decoration and colour preferences, as well as important items like memorabilia, and photos of loved ones. Keeping residents in touch with their past is a big part of dementia care, and this can extend to their room if it suits them.
We’re proud of our dementia care in East Sussex always taking a personal approach – it’s been mentioned a number of times in our recent CQC report. If you have any questions, or would like to have a chat about caring for your relative, contact us here.
