The Dementia Units will deliver a full range of service functions for assessment within a modern person-centred environment for people with moderate to severe dementia.
The ultimate aim of this service is to provide care which will enable a person to live their life to their full potential in the most appropriate environment. This will be achieved through the provision of a safe therapeutic environment for the assessment and treatment of people with moderate to severe dementias.
All care will be delivered by an experienced team of multidisciplinary staff through a holistic model which will focus on person centred care and maintenance of living skills. The privacy and dignity of the individual will be central to care at all times.
