Living with Dementia Is Living First and Foremost The care home stereotype for people with cognitive difficulties has been where residents merely had their physical care needs met by poorly trained staff... ADVERTISING FEATURE This is now changing and Astbury Manor Care Home in Bracknell is leading the way with leading memory care called ReConnectR developed by the Avery Healthcare Group. Previous approaches to ‘dementia-friendly’ care often focused on the use of bright colours in child-like environments, to stimulate, orientate and occupy residents, now recognised as less helpful. Latest research reinforces that a normal and homely care environment with considered adaptations and adjustments is more supportive to a person struggling to make sense of a world that is progressively unclear. A true dementia-friendly environment is simply a familiar and supportive one, of people who are friends to the resident. The difficult experience of moving into care should be seen as the next stage of a person’s life rather than the end of ‘normal’ living, with familiarity and preferred routines maintained. As well as keeping people safe, continuing to engage in the process of life is essential, regardless of cognitive decline. A skilled team to meet the complex care and support needs of people living with dementia is essential; without that they are at risk of failing those who rely upon them most. Dementia may mask the life experiences and a person’s unique characteristics, but never removes them completely, and staff training at Astbury Manor supports that a single approach does not fit all in dementia care. Contemporary research, a broader understanding of cognitive impairment and listening to the views of those living with dementia, means that care cultures are changing, and the memory care environment at Astbury Manor reflects all of that for the benefit of the residents and their families.
