Dementia is a broad term that describes various brain disorders that affect thinking, memory, behaviour, and the ability to perform everyday activities. These disorders are typically chronic and can be progressive over time.
There are many different types of dementia, and individuals may experience a combination of these types. Regardless of the diagnosis, each person experiences their condition in a unique way.
Some useful information can be found on Dementia UK https://www.dementiauk.org/
**Some Facts about Dementia:**
– People with dementia can still lead fulfilling lives. While there is currently no cure for the disorder, treatments and specialized care can help alleviate symptoms and make daily life more manageable. With the proper support, individuals can stay active and continue engaging in activities that they find meaningful.
– Dementia is often caused by neurological diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease. These diseases alter the brain’s chemistry and structure or can result in nerve damage. Different types of brain diseases affect various parts of the brain, leading to different types of dementia.
– Dementia involves more than just memory loss. Although memory loss is a common symptom, it is not the only one, and in some cases, it may not even be an early sign. The disorder can also impact speech, perception, emotions, and behaviour.
– Dementia is not a normal part of ageing. While it primarily affects older adults, it can also occur in younger individuals. According to the Alzheimer’s Society, over 40,000 people under the age of 65 have early-onset dementia in the UK.
**Dementia Care:**
Caring for someone with developing dementia requires specialized knowledge and understanding. Since the disorder manifests differently in each individual and symptoms can change over time, it is essential to provide personalized care. At Cedars Care Group homes, we focus on person-centered care. Our professionally trained staff offer one-on-one support to residents and their families, guiding them through what can often be a challenging journey.

for choosing the right home, including:
I was recently contacted by the care home manager at Woodlands Manor to arrange a meeting to discuss Nan's current care needs. The meeting went really well and we were able to prioritise Nan's needs and work out objectives to make sure Nan remains fit and healthy. The care home has also been great at informing me of upcoming hospital appointments and arranging travel and a carer to attend the appointments with my Nan. This leaves me not having to worry about taking time away from work to attend hospital appointments. Nan remains happy and content in the home and I am more than happy with the efforts that the team always go to to meet my nan's needs. It was really nice to see that the seating area outside the manager's office has been so nicely decorated for the residents. It is so bright and colourful and a lovely place for Nan to sit and socialise.
At Cedars Care Group, we strive to create happy and stimulating homes where the standards for care and services improve the quality of life for everyone; adding life to years.
