Dementia
Our residential communities are adept at
providing at providing Person Centred
Care and part of the NJCH Experience is
ensuring that we get to know the

Before and during the period that a
resident moves in to one of our homes,
our staff take the time to ask them, their
family and friends all the important
questions ensuring that we are able to
provide them with a holistic care
package and lifestyle that they deserve.
We go that extra mile to ensure that our
staff have the latest training which starts
with our managers and is cascaded
down through all departments. We
