Support for Carers

Please do not plug charging devices into the sockets without speaking to a member of staff first.

If you do not have your own mobile phone, the wards have mobiles that you can use to contact your relatives. Please speak to a member of ward staff if you’d like to arrange this.

Patients with additional needs

A person with dementia may often feel vulnerable and in need of reassurance and support, particularly when they are in an unfamiliar environment such as a hospital.

Our hospital staff consistently strive to provide care centred around the individual needs of the person with dementia. We involve not only the person themselves, but their families and carers in the assessment and care planning, including when the time comes to leave hospital.
