Dementia Care in our Dorset Care Homes

Dementia is not a specific disease. A person suffering from dementia has a decline in memory or other thinking skills severe enough to affect their ability to perform normal everyday activities.

Alzheimer’s disease is the best known form of dementia and is now thought to account for 60% to 80% of all dementia cases. But there are various other causes including vascular dementia which is caused by stroke. If a series of small strokes occur, the dementia may be gradual, but sometimes one big stroke will cause a sudden loss of memory and this can be very stressful for both the patient and their family. Other causes of dementia include head injuries and brain tumours, and may not be long term.

Royal Bay Care Homes in Dorset offer dementia care to residents who would benefit from living in a normal care home environment. They have a dedicated Dementia Care Unit at their care home in Kettering, so they are fully aware of the type of care needed.

Castle Farm is a friendly, professionally run care home that can manage some elderly residents with dementia. There is a mix of elderly residents, some requiring high dependency, but they are all treated as individuals and are supported to lead the fullest lives possible.

Most of Castle Farm’s residents come from or have family in the surrounding areas of Poole, Wimborne, Bournemouth, Swanage or Blandford. Please call Castle Farm on 01258 857642 for further information, to discuss dementia care vacancies or to arrange a visit to Castle Farm Retirement Home in Dorset.
