What dementia care support can include
Dementia care should adapt to the person’s history, routines, communication and changing needs. A CQC rating is useful evidence, but it does not by itself show whether a home is the right environment for a particular person.
What to check before choosing
- Staff training and experience supporting the person’s type and stage of dementia
- A calm, understandable and secure environment that supports independence
- Personalised care planning, meaningful activity and communication with families
