Supporting our residents
It can be a daunting prospect fora person with dementia to move into full time care. We know how frightening and stressful this transition can be for families and friends too. We try to minimise anxiety and distress by meeting the person and their families prior to admission and gaining valuable knowledge through life history work and involving everyone in all decisions concerning care needs. Our residents receive monthly GP reviews and health screenings and have access to chiropody, OPMHT, dentists, SALT, and OT as needed. All care needs are reviewed each month by the Registered Nurse involving families in all ‘best interest’ decisions.
Families are always welcome to join their relatives at Beaconville, share lunch, pop in to have a chat or just sit and read the paper. The family atmosphere is an important part of helping with the wellbeing and happiness we strive for.
