Specialist Dementia Care in Taunton

Dementia affects everyone differently. As dementia progresses, familiar surroundings can sometimes become difficult to navigate. Changes in routine may also cause anxiety or distress.

Cedar Lodge’s dementia-friendly approach includes visual cues and familiar memorabilia throughout the home to help residents with orientation. The team provides support that is sensitive to the experience of dementia and aims to maintain independence wherever possible.

The environment is also designed to provide different types of space. This is important because dementia care is not simply about keeping someone occupied. Meaningful activities, familiar surroundings and appropriate levels of support can help someone continue participating in everyday life.

Helping You Choose the Right Dementia Care

There is no single stage of dementia at which residential care becomes appropriate. The decision depends on the person’s circumstances, safety, care requirements and wishes. Families may begin considering residential care when everyday activities become increasingly difficult to manage at home. This could include personal care, maintaining nutrition, managing medication, communication, mobility or remaining safe without regular assistance.

It is also important to consider the needs of the person providing care. A family member may have been able to manage for some time but find that the level of support required has gradually increased.

When visiting Cedar Lodge, families can meet the team, look around the home and discuss their relative’s individual circumstances. Health and social care professionals can also make referrals to Cedar Lodge and discuss the person’s care requirements with the team.
