Our approach with loved ones with dementia is to support their memory, with an holistic approach to care and well-being.
This is our focus in the Thorrington Home Memory Support Neighbourhood.
‘People with dementia often live in a parallel universe, existing in the same time and space as ours, but with different rules and values. We must strive to acknowledge and understand these universes and find a common ground for care.’ says Dr Power, author of Dementia Beyond Drugs.
Our goal is to care lovingly for these residents, assisting them to engage in ways each day that bring joy to their lives, while living with this challenging condition.
