Dementia is a broad term that describes various brain disorders that affect thinking, memory, behaviour, and the ability to perform everyday activities. These disorders are typically chronic and can be progressive over time.
There are many different types of dementia, and individuals may experience a combination of these types. Regardless of the diagnosis, each person experiences their condition in a unique way.
Some useful information can be found on Dementia UK https://www.dementiauk.org/
**Some Facts about Dementia:**
– People with dementia can still lead fulfilling lives. While there is currently no cure for the disorder, treatments and specialized care can help alleviate symptoms and make daily life more manageable. With the proper support, individuals can stay active and continue engaging in activities that they find meaningful.
– Dementia is often caused by neurological diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease. These diseases alter the brain’s chemistry and structure or can result in nerve damage. Different types of brain diseases affect various parts of the brain, leading to different types of dementia.
– Dementia involves more than just memory loss. Although memory loss is a common symptom, it is not the only one, and in some cases, it may not even be an early sign. The disorder can also impact speech, perception, emotions, and behaviour.
– Dementia is not a normal part of ageing. While it primarily affects older adults, it can also occur in younger individuals. According to the Alzheimer’s Society, over 40,000 people under the age of 65 have early-onset dementia in the UK.
**Dementia Care:**
Caring for someone with developing dementia requires specialized knowledge and understanding. Since the disorder manifests differently in each individual and symptoms can change over time, it is essential to provide personalized care. At Cedars Care Group homes, we focus on person-centered care. Our professionally trained staff offer one-on-one support to residents and their families, guiding them through what can often be a challenging journey.

for choosing the right home, including:
"From the day my husband took up residence at Cedar Grange in October 2020 he was treated with kindness, compassion and most of all care in every aspect of the word. Nothing was too much trouble whatever the question when asked. The care team treated him as if he were one of their own. He settled in quite quickly and although we were unable to visit inside the home due to Covid - window visits were arranged with the provision of two-way speaker systems which enabled us to carry out conversations, thus keeping the contact. Sadly, he passed away in January after spending 2 weeks in hospital but as a family, we will always be grateful to everyone at Cedar Grange for all the support we received from them."
At Cedars Care Group, we strive to create happy and stimulating homes where the standards for care and services improve the quality of life for everyone; adding life to years.
