bupa.co.uk Home Dementia care How Bupa caresBupa has many homes that specialise in caring for people with dementia and each home has specially trained staff to ensure that residents receive expert care, which respects personal tastes and preferences.
Dementia care is provided within specialist units at most of our sites, whether this is the whole home or a self-contained unit within a home. This means that the environment is adapted to the needs of residents with dementia and we can offer as much independence and stimulation as possible within safe boundaries.
Our specialist dementia homes offer:
Our experienced and trained specialist staff are set apart by their empathy, their commitment to providing the highest quality care and their understanding of the unique nature of dementia.
We employ highly trained registered nurses, and care assistants who provide 24-hour professional support. All dementia carers have specialist training and are kept up to date with developments in care practice to ensure the most up to date care possible.
Our person-centred care approach means that each resident is respected as an individual and treated with dignity. Each resident has a named key worker and their own personal plan.
Life histories, to which relatives' contribution are welcomed, are used to help us get to know residents each, with their own personalities and pasts. Understanding the reasons behind their actions and the people, places and belongings which are important to them can help to overcome the frustration and fear someone may experience at being unable to express what they want.
Stimulation and enjoyable activities are particularly important to people with dementia. Our care homes offer both organised activities, such as arts and crafts, gardening, reminiscence therapy, exercise or music, and one-to-one involvement. We encourage residents to carry out small tasks throughout the day, such as helping to lay the tables or watering the plants, which can help retain self-esteem and involvement in daily life.
