Dementia is a complex condition that affects people of all ages, and it can be challenging for both the person experiencing it and their loved ones. It is essential to seek medical help as soon as memory issues arise, as early diagnosis and intervention can significantly improve the person's quality of life. Simblija Care Home understand the impact dementia can have on individuals and their families, and are committed to providing personalised and compassionate care.

At Simblija, the team takes on a holistic approach to dementia care, which includes individualised clinical advice, medical treatment, therapy, and relevant care considerations.

There are different subtypes of dementia, with each subtype presenting unique challenges. The most prevalent type of dementia is the Alzheimer’s subtype, but other forms of dementia also exist, including Parkinson’s Dementia, Lewy Body Dementia, Vascular Dementia, and other less common subtypes, such as spongiform encephalopathy. A diagnosis of dementia involves a clinical assessment, whereby a doctor or medical professional asks a series of questions related to the symptoms affecting the patient. Most commonly, memory impairment affects recall of recent events, commonly referred to as short-term recall. More distant memories are more easily remembered, leading to dementia patients living more ‘in the past’ than in the actual present.

That's why Simblija works closely with residents and their families to develop care plans that cater to their specific needs. Highly trained staff is equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to provide the highest quality of care, ensuring that residents maintain their dignity and quality of life.

Simblija Care Home believes that transparency is key when it comes to dementia care. They work closely with residents and their families to ensure that they are aware of their diagnosis and understand the nature of the condition. The team is always available to answer any questions or concerns that may arise, and strives to create a welcoming and supportive environment for residents.

The care home is specifically designed to meet the needs of individuals with dementia, providing a safe and secure environment that promotes independence and social interaction.
