At Care UK residents live well with dementia

Dementia is no barrier to enjoying a rich and fulfilling lifestyle – that’s what we believe at Care UK, and it’s why our well trained, compassion­ate teams support residents who are living with dementia to live each day to the full.

We work with you to learn all we can about your loved one’s life, interests and preference­s, and use positive risk-taking to enable them to keep active and engaged, enjoying maximum independen­ce.

Every day is different

Living in Trymview Hall is all about choice. Some residents do routine tasks around the home while others form clubs or run classes. Our Lifestyle teams organise varied, fun activities, from baking and arts and crafts to gentle exercise and music, and we even fulfil residents’ wishes – whether that’s enjoying takeaway fish and chips or taking a ride in a

Rolls Royce. Residents are free to do as much or as little as they wish.

Our care homes offer all the comforts of home, and so much more. At Trymview Hall we have a hair salon and cinema, as well as a café and pub. We offer Namaste, where residents living with dementia can experience one-to-one sensory sessions of gentle hand or foot massages, accompanie­d by soothing music, aromas and lighting. Our homes also use the latest dementiafr­iendly technologi­es, from ‘magic tables’ providing easy interactiv­e games, to reminiscen­ce apps that spark forgotten memories.

Specialist dementia care

We work with specialist interior designers and leading researcher­s to ensure we deliver bestpracti­ce dementia care in tailored surroundin­gs. We’ll care for your loved one in their home’s dementia suite – a smaller community where they can get to know other residents as well as the people caring for them. All our colleagues receive the latest dementia training, and a Dementia Champion is on hand to provide ongoing training, informatio­n and support to ensure we’re always delivering bestpracti­ce care.

To ensure your loved one continues to receive the nutrition they need, our chef-led kitchen teams create tasty and nutritious meals designed around your loved one’s favourite dishes, and can cater for softtextur­e or fortified diets.
