Memory Loss
For people needing patient, familiar support with orientation, choices, and daily routines.
WHAT IS DEMENTIA CARE AT ABBEY
Memory care rooted in patience, familiarity, and respect.
Dementia affects people differently. Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia and frontotemporal dementia each present in distinct ways — and care must reflect this. Our teams are trained to understand the specific characteristics of different dementia types and to adjust support accordingly.
At Abbey, dementia care is built on four foundations: familiarity, calm, dignity and meaningful engagement. We use structured daily routines to reduce anxiety, sensory-rich environments to support wellbeing, and individual life history work to connect with each resident as a person — not a diagnosis.
- Structured daily routines to reduce confusion and anxiety
- Life story work and reminiscence therapy
- Regular family updates and carer support
- Safe spaces designed for confidence and dignity
