LANCASTER GRANGE CARE HOME IS OPENING SOON! (cont...)

At Lancaster Grange, as in many

Barchester homes, dementia services are offered in a unique care environment called a Memory Lane community. The purposeful design encourages people living with dementia to lead a full and active life, staying as independent as possible.

The living space encourages residents to interact with their surroundings, for example, facilities such as life-skills kitchens allow those individuals living with dementia to continue to experience the familiarity of everyday household tasks like setting the table for dinner, washing up or baking.

Richard Brown-Warr, Head of Care has joined the care team. He has worked in health and social care for more than 15 years where he has developed and gained a great deal of experience. Richard is passionate about providing a personalised service to the people in his care and knows that it is often the little things that make a big difference to people’s day to day living.

When asked about what he enjoys about working in a care environment, Richard said: “I am looking forward to providing a high level of dignified care to all residents and to guide my team in the same way. Recruitment is ongoing and I am busy completing assessments ready to welcome new residents in August” Our care staff are trained to recognise the importance of the lives and individual experiences of all residents, which will make Lancaster Grange a happy place to live and work. Our staff use the life histories of those people living with dementia to create engaging activities. Reminiscence therapy is a great way to get to know more about those that choose to live in our homes and can often be an activity that families and friends enjoy getting involved with, too. Furthermore, the home has a skilled activities co-ordinator that works with residents to create lively and involving programmes for everyone’s enjoyment, from gardening and baking to gentle exercise and pet therapy.
