Specialist Dementia Care Unit |
|
According to research, special care
dementia units are associated with improvement or
slowed decline of the condition in residents
suffering from the disorder. Noticeable improvements
may be detected in communication skills, self care
skills, social function, mobility and affective
responses with reductions in behavioural
disturbances, abnormal motor activity, apathy and
hallucinations. |

HavenWood, has taken advice from the
Alzheimer Society and the DSIDC at St. James
hospital in order to incorporate the latest findings
in our facility. Consequently, our special care
dementia unit is at the forefront of requirements as
researched by experts. The facility is designed as
a therapeutic environment for people with dementia,
promoting well being and functionality whilst
enhancing safety and home likeness. The building
design assists the resident’s sense of orientation. |
