Fulfilling lifestyles, designed around you<br />
At Care UK’s Priors House care home in <strong>Leamington</strong> Spa, your loved one<br />
can expect the very best of dementia care, whilst being supported to<br />
enjoy a fulfilling lifestyle.<br />
Our dedicated <strong>and</strong> caring teams<br />
learn all they can about your<br />
loved one, tailoring their care <strong>and</strong><br />
lifestyle plan to suit their unique<br />
needs as well as their hobbies<br />
<strong>and</strong> interests. We’re trained in the<br />
latest dementia care approaches,<br />
thanks to our partnership with<br />
the Association for Dementia<br />
Studies at Worcester University,<br />
whilst a Dementia Coach in each<br />
home supports all colleagues to<br />
deliver high quality care <strong>and</strong><br />
a fulfilling lifestyle.<br />
Enjoy each day, your way<br />
Our Lifestyle team is passionate<br />
about enhancing your loved<br />
one’s quality of life <strong>and</strong> there’s<br />
always plenty of activities to<br />
get involved in. Reminiscencethemed<br />
activities such as music<br />
therapy <strong>and</strong> baking help to spark<br />
happy memories, whilst gentle<br />
exercise classes <strong>and</strong> yoga help<br />
your loved one to stay fit <strong>and</strong><br />
active. For those who prefer oneto-one<br />
interaction, residents are<br />
welcome to take part in the home’s<br />
Sunflower Scheme. Residents are<br />
given a sunflower badge to display<br />
outside their room when wanting<br />
one-to-one interaction, <strong>and</strong> acts<br />
as a reminder to all staff to<br />
spend a few minutes to chat<br />
when passing their room.<br />
Pet Therapy sessions are proven<br />
help to prevent feelings of<br />
loneliness <strong>and</strong> can often improve<br />
self-esteem <strong>and</strong> confidence in<br />
people living with dementia. We<br />
are often visited by local animal<br />
sanctuaries, <strong>and</strong> recently residents<br />
have enjoyed cuddles with puppies,<br />
ponies <strong>and</strong> even snakes!<br />
Everything under one roof<br />

loved one will need under one<br />
roof <strong>and</strong> is designed to the latest<br />
