As we get older, looking after our brain becomes just as important as taking care of our body. For elderly people living with dementia, maintaining brain health can make a real difference to their quality of lifeโhelping them feel more connected, more engaged, and more themselves.
In the UK, dementia affects nearly one million people, and with that number rising, itโs more important than ever to support those living with the condition. At Engelhard Residential Care Home, we understand how vital it is to create a calm, supportive environment that encourages brain activity, connection, and comfort.

Dementia affects memory, thinking, and behaviour. But that doesnโt mean life stops. With the right support, residents with dementia can still enjoy meaningful moments, hobbies, and conversations. Activities like gentle exercise, music therapy, puzzles, and social interaction can all help keep the brain active. Even something as simple as a walk in the garden or a favourite song can bring back beautiful memories and spark joy.
