Caring with people living with dementia is exciting and challenging. The Marbrook ethos of dementia care is based on commitment to supporting the person living with dementia (and their family) to continue living in a way that is really meaningful to them.<\/p>\n
Dementia is not restricted to older people. It is currently estimated that there are over 42,000\u00a0people living with Early Onset Dementia<\/a>\u00a0(onset before the age of 65 years) in the UK. For these younger individuals and their families, dementia can reveal some acute challenges.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dementia is a collective term to describe the damage caused to brain by specific diseases such as Alzheimer\u2019s (the most commonly known form of Dementia). Symptoms range from difficulties with language, problem solving and memory loss. The different dementia diseases effect different parts of the brain, which in turn develops into different symptoms.<\/p>\n View the Dementia Conditions we are skilled in<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sadly dementia currently has no cure. It is a progressive condition, with all the above symptoms becoming more pronounced over time. As we are all different, so will be the way we all experience dementia, making it very difficult to predict the intensity or pace of the impact of these symptoms as the condition progresses.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n One of the almost unique features of The Marbrook Centres specialist dementia service is the easy access to the collective skills from our in-house Neurological Therapy Team. This means our Physio Therapists, Occupational Therapists and Speech and Language Therapists are able to assess and monitor any physical changes as the condition progresses. We can check your ability to swallow food safely and make changes to your diet if necessary. We can maintain a good seating position and if required, change procedures so you can safely transfer from bed to chair and back again, even if this requires a hoist. All this can be done in a timely manner, avoiding some of the long waiting times associated with NHS community teams.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Marbrook dementia care workers are prepared to be themselves at work, to truly engage with the residents and to share their experiences. Social interaction is a key feature in good dementia care, making it truly person centred and understanding what this means requires real empathy.<\/p>\n To achieve this high expectation of care, staff at Marbrook are supported, trained and encouraged by a passionate team and managers, who lead by example.<\/p>\n The Marbrook dementia care home\u00a0itself has been specially designed according to the\u00a0Stirling University Dementia Design<\/a>\u00a0best practice guidelines. Our top-quality facilities include:<\/p>\n 27 ensuite bedrooms<\/span>\u00a0designed specifically for dementia residents We encourage families and friends to be a key member of the team caring for their loved ones. We make sure that our residents and their families are empowered to make informed choices about their lives and the care they receive.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cNtXTkbA9sk” _builder_version=”4.16″ width=”48%” width_tablet=”100%” width_phone=”100%” width_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_css_main_element=”float: right;” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ width=”44%” width_tablet=”100%” width_phone=”” width_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_margin=”50px||||false|false” custom_css_main_element=”float: left” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n This video from the\u00a0<\/span>College of Occupational Therapists<\/a>\u00a0centres on one person\u2019s experience of finding a care home for her mother.
