At Constantia Live-in Care we understand the important factors when living with
Dementia. Our professional Dementia care staff seek to maintain regular routine
and this is best done whilst remaining within the familiar surroundings of one’s own
home.
Reminiscing is something we all do. The older we get, the more likely we are to fall
back on our memories to generate those sought-after happy moments; regardless of
whether we are alone or socialising with friends and relatives. Reminiscence is a
perfectly natural activity which can have a great therapeutic effect on Dementia
sufferers. Triggers can often bring back those memories that reveal a rich stream
of insight and experience that is otherwise hard to bring to the surface.
The person-centred Dementia Care plan will give the care assistant those triggers
and allow a meaningful relationship to build with the client.
