As dementia progresses, the simplest pleasures in life can feel out of reach. Loved ones may feel lost, uncertain of how to connect or bring moments of joy. Queensway Homes understands this challenge and is dedicated to enhancing the lives of those living with dementia through compassionate and person-centred care.
Dementia: More Than Memory Loss
Dementia affects not just memory but also a person’s emotions, behaviours, and ability to engage with the world. This can lead to feelings of isolation, confusion, and a diminished sense of purpose.
Queensway Homes: Reconnecting With Joy
We are CQC registered, demonstrating our commitment to providing exceptional support for individuals with dementia. Our approach focuses on:
- Understanding the Individual: We take the time to learn about your loved one’s unique personality, history, and preferences. This helps us create personalised activities that resonate with them.
- Finding Joy in the Familiar: We tap into the power of familiar routines, music, objects, and activities. This can create a sense of comfort and spark moments of recognition and happiness.
- Stimulating the Senses: Engaging activities that stimulate the senses – touch, sight, smell, hearing, and taste – can be incredibly powerful for people with dementia, reawakening memories and providing pleasure.
- Tailored Support for Families: We recognise that dementia impacts the entire family. Queensway Homes offers support, guidance, and resources to help family members navigate this journey and find their own ways to connect with their loved one.
Real-Life Examples: Sparks of Joy
Queensway Homes’ support staff witness the difference personalised care makes:
- A woman who struggles with communication lights up when singing along to her favorite songs and hymns.
- A man with a lifelong love of gardening finds purpose and contentment when helping care for plants.
- Regular walks in nature bring moments of peace and connection for an individual with dementia and their family.
It’s About Moments, Not a Cure
While dementia has no cure, joy and connection are still possible. Queensway Homes works tirelessly to create moments of meaning that uplift and enrich the lives of those living with dementia.
