Dementia Care at Cornelia Manor
Memory loss and dementia can place a significant burden on family members and caregivers. At Cornelia Manor, we understand the importance of providing comprehensive care and support for those living with dementia. Our approach incorporates a variety of therapies and strategies designed to maintain healthy brain function, manage symptoms, and enhance the overall quality of life for our residents. This holistic approach includes nutritional support to ensure a balanced diet, functional therapies to promote physical health, and mental stimulation to keep the mind active and engaged. By addressing the diverse needs of our residents, we create a nurturing and supportive environment where they can thrive.
Nutritional Support
Diet plays a crucial role in preventing chronic illnesses, including those that affect brain health. At Cornelia Manor, our nutritional meal policy is tailored to individual needs and preferences. By carefully monitoring each resident’s intake daily, we ensure their health and well-being are optimised. Maintaining a healthy diet helps prevent inflammation in the brain and keeps blood vessels free of disease, thereby delivering life-sustaining oxygen efficiently.
Mental Stimulation
It is easier to protect existing memory than to regain what has been lost. Engaging in mental challenges and stimulating activities can significantly enhance mental sharpness. Our residents benefit from a variety of activities, including puzzles, crafts, and games, which are known to promote cognitive function. Experts believe that staying mentally active is key to retaining mental sharpness, and we encourage our residents to participate in these activities regularly. Unlike extended television watching, which provides little mental challenge, these activities foster a more engaging and stimulating environment.
Personalised Care Strategies
At Cornelia Manor, we work with each resident to develop personalised mind-saving preventative strategies. While those concerned about existing memory loss might not regain what has been lost, starting a programme now can prevent further decline. Our team of dedicated professionals is committed to creating a supportive environment where residents can thrive, maintain their independence, and enjoy a higher quality of life.
By following these principles and embracing a holistic approach to dementia care, Cornelia Manor ensures that our residents receive the best possible support in their journey.
