At Silver Birch have expert staff, specially designed rooms and facilities to take care of senior citizens with dementia.
We take the time to get to know you and your loved ones, putting each resident’s needs, desires and choices at the heart of the care we provide.
Dementia is an umbrella term for a number of neurological conditions, such as Alzheimer’s. The symptoms are caused by physical changes to the brain and are unique to the individual.
Dementia can be an emotional journey and moving into full-time care may be a difficult decision for the resident and their family. You must be absolutely confident that the care home you choose has the right facilities, skills and approach to support people whose lives are changed by dementia.
In the early stages of dementia, many people are able to enjoy life in the same way as before their diagnosis. But as symptoms get worse, the person may feel anxious, stressed and scared at not being able to remember things, follow conversations or concentrate. It is important to support the person to maintain skills, abilities, and an active social life. This can also help how they feel about themselves.
