How Saunton Group Supports People with Dementia
Saunton Care Group’s trained carers are skilled in dementia care and approach each individual with patience, understanding, and empathy. Here’s how our team supports clients with dementia:
Personalised Daily Routine
We work with clients and families to develop consistent daily routines that create structure and familiarity, helping clients feel secure and supported.
Memory and Cognitive Support
Our carers engage clients in memory exercises, activities, and gentle prompts to help them stay connected to their identity and past. These activities may include looking through photo albums, listening to favourite music, or engaging in familiar hobbies.
Emotional and Social Engagement
Dementia can be isolating, but our carers provide companionship, social interaction, and a listening ear, helping clients feel valued and heard. Social activities, storytelling, and reminiscence sessions can bring joy and connection.
Physical Assistance and Safety
Many clients with dementia need help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and eating. Our carers provide this support with respect and care, ensuring that clients feel comfortable and safe. We also assist in making the home dementia-friendly, minimising risks and creating a secure environment.
Communication with Families
We keep families informed and involved, providing updates on their loved one’s wellbeing and working together to adapt care as needs change. This partnership provides peace of mind and reassurance for family members.
