Understanding dementia goes beyond one diagnosis đź§ 

From Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia to Lewy body, frontotemporal, Parkinson’s-related, and mixed dementia, each type affects the brain in different ways.

Awareness helps us recognise symptoms, support loved ones, and approach care with compassion.

Getting outside, feeling the sun on your skin, and spending time with loved ones, these simple moments matter more than we realize.

Our beautiful garden is where residents can breathe fresh air, soak up the sunshine, and share quality time with family in a peaceful, welcoming space.

We know how important it is for wellbeing, physically and emotionally. That’s why we’ve created outdoor spaces that invite connection, joy, and the healing power of nature.

Every detail has been thoughtfully planned with our residence wellbeing in mind

If your loved one living with dementia has seemed more confused, irritable, anxious, or just not quite themselves over the past few days, your instincts are likely right. ✨

The holidays can overload the brain, and the effects often show up after everything is over.

Here’s why.

Dementia makes it difficult to filter stimulation such as noise, movement, conversations, smells, lighting, and changes in routine.

So even if a holiday gathering seemed manageable in the moment, the brain may only be processing the impact now.

This is not a sudden decline.
It is not something you caused.
It is the brain trying to recover from too much input, too quickly, all at once.

The good news is that there are gentle ways to help them settle again through small, simple changes that calm the nervous system and restore a sense of predictability.

The slides share practical and creative strategies to help your loved one feel safe, grounded, and regulated again today.

And a reminder for you as well: you are doing an incredible job, especially after a holiday period that can be deeply challenging for caregivers.🤍🌿

When families trust us with their loved ones, we don't take that responsibility lightly.

With qualified nursing staff on duty around the clock, we're here to provide professional medical care that feels like home. But what makes Grace truly special? It's the moments like these when families visit and see their loved ones thriving, comfortable, and genuinely cared for.

We know choosing frail care is one of life's hardest decisions. That's why we're committed to being your partner in care, not a replacement. Every detail has been thoughtfully planned with your loved one's dignity and wellbeing in mind.

You don't have to navigate this alone. đź’™
