Secure facilities. Our care home in Leeds is equipped with secure entry points and monitored premises to prevent unauthorised access.

Trained staff. Our team undergoes rigorous training in dementia care, including protocols for ensuring the safety of residents. They are adept at recognising potential risks and providing urgent care.

Safety assessments. We conduct regular safety assessments of our facilities to identify and address any potential hazards. This proactive approach allows us to maintain a safe environment for residents at all times.

Challenging behaviours are a common aspect of dementia care, and our experienced staff members are equipped to handle them with compassion and professionalism. Our approach to managing challenging behaviours includes:

Person-centred care plans. We develop personalised care plans for each resident, taking into account their unique needs and behavioural patterns. These plans are designed to minimise triggers and provide appropriate interventions when challenging behaviours arise.

Positive reinforcement. Our staff members use positive reinforcement techniques to encourage desirable behaviours and redirect negative behaviours in a gentle and supportive manner.

Communication and de-escalation. Effective communication is key to managing challenging behaviours. Our team is trained in techniques for de-escalating tense situations and redirecting residents’ attention in a calm and reassuring manner.

Collaboration with healthcare professionals. We work closely with healthcare professionals, including psychologists and behavioural therapists, to develop comprehensive strategies.

Yes, we understand the importance of maintaining meaningful connections with family members and encourage visits at any time convenient for both residents and their loved ones.

Our open-door policy ensures that family members are always welcome to visit and spend time with their loved ones in a warm and supportive environment.
