Our Commitment to Quality Dementia Care
Our care home leadership team is passionate in making sure that each care home’s dementia patients receive high quality care, underpinned by dementia care training and dementia carer qualifications. This dedication extends beyond our homes, as proven by our commitment to supporting the wider dementia community through fundraising and awareness initiatives. Our commitment to quality care and community is demonstrated through events like our care home’s Dementia Action Week activities. Another commitment featured in our Lincolnshire dementia care home’s inspection reports is a manager who “spoke passionately about supporting people who lived with dementia and used her knowledge on the subject to influence staff practices at the care home”. At Tanglewood, we’ve a commitment to patient care transparency and involving families in the care process, with regular invites to resident relatives to meetings. One relative told the care home inspector, “We have relatives and resident meetings and issues get addressed.’”
Other examples of specialist dementia support include a staff member helping a resident who was upset about their birthday by gently pointing to a calendar and reminding them of the upcoming date. Our specialist dementia care homes are vibrant with life, from managing challenging behaviours to residents celebrating special occasions like International Women’s Day.
These are great examples of dementia behaviour management at Tanglewood care homes, and using the best behaviour management strategies for our patients. Tanglewood care home staff understand how to manage challenging behaviour in dementia residents whilst respecting their independence.
