Living well with Dementia

At Lonsdale Mews, Care UK’s brand new care home in Quorn, residents who are living with dementia or other complex care needs, enjoy each day to the full.

Jo, the homes’ Deputy Manager, who is a dementia specialist and Registered Mental Health Nurse, supports the team to deliver the highest quality dementia care. ‘We focus on what a person can do, rather than what they can’t, so that they can continue doing the things they love, from lifelong hobbies to making new friends’.

Meaningful activity is allimportant, and the dementia suite at Lonsdale Mews has occupation areas for residents to explore whenever they wish, including a sewing table, a DIY workbench and an office desk. The walls feature vintage photos of the local area to bring back memories for residents.

Lonsdale Mews has everything for a fantastic lifestyle: a café with an endless supply of homemade cakes, a cinema and bar, a hair and beauty salon, plus beautiful and accessible gardens.

Home manager Toby, says, “While residents have had very different lives, from being in the Navy to teaching, they’re enjoying our facilities and range of activities. With travel in common, we’ve adopted a world theme, by enjoying curries on our ‘Taste of India’ day and the Orient Express experience with high tea.

Technology plays a key role in enhancing residents’ quality of life too. Video calls with family are a priority, and apps such as Skype are enabling residents and their loved ones to stay in touch.
