World Alzheimer’s Month: Raising Awareness and Compassionate Dementia Care

In September, the world comes together to observe World Alzheimer’s Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness, understanding, and empathy for those living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. At Larchwood Care, a leading provider of care homes for the elderly in England and Scotland, we recognise the importance of this global initiative and are committed to providing exceptional care, compassion, and companionship to those affected by dementia.

Larchwood Care homes are focused on their homely environments, where residents are valued, respected, and supported on every level of their care journey. Whether it’s residential care, expert nursing care, or respite care, our dedicated staff work tirelessly to ensure that each individual’s needs are assessed and met with utmost care and compassion.

Dementia Care

Many of our Larchwood Care Homes specialise in providing first-class dementia care, offering personalised care plans that cater to the unique needs of each resident. With a focus on individualised person-centred support, we ensure that every resident living with dementia receives the care they require for a fulfilling and comfortable life.

Respite Care

Caring for a loved one with dementia can be a challenging and demanding task. We recognise the importance of respite for family caregivers, providing them with the opportunity to rest, recharge, and take care of their well-being. Our flexible respite stays are tailored to individual needs, offering a safe and supportive environment for resdients to relax, reset, and recover.

 

There are currently around 900,000 people in the UK living with dementia, with one in 14 people aged over 65 being affected. This month across our homes we will be raising awareness to help towards identifying risk reduction measures to delay, and potentially even prevent, the onset of dementia. Working together towards a world united against dementia.

As we observe World Alzheimer’s Month, we invite you to discover a Larchwood Care home near you. Experience the warmth, compassion, and companionship that our homes offer, and witness firsthand our unwavering commitment to providing exceptional care to those living with dementia. Together, we can make a difference.
