Cocktails in the bar, anyone? 🍸

We are thrilled to announce that Persley Castle has achieved grades of 5's across the board in their recent Care Inspection.

The team have worked incredibly hard to make sure Persley is a remarkable place to both live and work. They support, respect and care for every person within their home, and we're proud that they are part of the Renaissance Care team. Well done to everyone, enjoy the celebrations.

When it comes to our residents' care, there are no opinions we value higher than those of our residents themselves. This week, Nicole at Rosepark took the time to issue all her residents with activity surveys to hear all about their interests and likes, and exactly what they want out of their care home activities.

We love seeing this individualised, person-centred care in all of our homes. Great work, team 👏

Cranford had a little visit from Bob's Buddies, and Sam, Ru, Ziggy and Leo were shown around the home. Residents were able to get up close and personal with the gorgeous birds and were told loads of fascinating things about each owl!

As if speaking five languages wasn't enough, Team Leader Silviya from our Cowdry home took it upon herself to learn sign language when she found herself managing a hearing-impaired resident's care.

Today, on International Sign Language Day, we applaud the initiative of Silviya as she truly went above and beyond to provide individualised and vital care to her resident ❤️

We're so proud to have colleagues like Silviya who put their residents above all else 👏

This Alzheimers awareness month we're sharing a closer look at the umbrella term of dementia.

What a lovely way to spend the day! 🦆
Our Croftbank residents enjoyed a wonderful outing in Kirkintilloch, taking in the beautiful canal views on a barge trip with Seagull Trust. It was the perfect opportunity to reconnect with nature, share laughter with friends, and enjoy a delicious fish supper along the way. Simply perfect. 🌿🚤

This Alzheimer's Awareness Day, we're taking a moment to challenge the stigma surrounding Dementia. Our goal is to replace misconceptions with a deeper understanding, helping to empower those living with dementia to lead lives filled with passion and purpose.

With so much information readily available, we want to thoughtfully debunk some common myths about dementia and its various forms.

🧠 Myth 1: Dementia is just memory loss.
Fact: Dementia can also impact a person's ability to communicate, solve problems, and regulate their mood. Understanding this helps us provide comprehensive, person-centered care in a way that best supports the individual.

🏥 Myth 2: There's no point in treatment since there's no cure.
Fact: While there is currently no cure, effective treatments and therapies can help manage symptoms. We've seen firsthand how focusing on personalised care can help individuals with dementia not just live, but thrive.

🧓 Myth 3: Dementia only affects the elderly.
Fact: While risk increases with age, a surprising number of people are diagnosed with early-onset dementia. This highlights the need for awareness across all age groups.

Today is Alzheimer's Awareness Day, and we want to acknowledge the complexities and challenges that a dementia diagnosis can bring for those experiencing dementia and their families.

We believe that no one should face dementia alone. That's why we're proud to support the wider conversation, because a greater understanding helps ensure everyone receives the best possible care. If you or a loved one needs support or advice, please know that help is always available.

- If you're concerned about yourself or a loved one, please speak to your GP in the first instance.

- Charities like Alzheimer Scotland (https://www.alzscot.org/) can also provide comprehensive advice, support, and guidance to those living with dementia, their families, or carers.

- If you're living with dementia at the point of requiring care, reach out to your local council, social worker, or care home for direct help and support - no question is too big or small.

Activities don't always have to be huge day trips or outside-of-the-box ideas - sometimes the best thing for our residents is just some peaceful time doing puzzles and colouring whilst enjoying some gentle conversation.

Adapting our activities to suit the personalities of our residents is just another example of the person-centric care we pride ourselves on 🥰

We'd like to say a huge well done to the team at Meadowlark for gaining grades of 5's at their recent CI inspection.
The team have worked incredibly hard over the years to provide the very best care within a warm and nurturing environment. We're very proud, well done all!
