Iโm proud to lead a team that believes in ๐๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ฎ ๐๐ถ๐๐ต ๐๐ถ๐ด๐ป๐ถ๐๐ โ and who put that belief into action every day through calm environments, meaningful routines, and the kind of support that treats people as people, not diagnoses.
If youโre supporting a loved one with dementia, or working with families who are, I hope this gentle guide helps even a little. And if you ever want to chat, my door is always open.

When someone you love is diagnosed with dementia, it can feel like the world suddenly shifts โ routines change, roles reverse, and uncertainty creeps in.
But you are not alone.
At Active Care & Accommodation, we walk beside families as they navigate this new chapter โ offering guidance, empathy, and a place where dignity is never compromised.
Here are a few helpful reminders for families supporting someone with dementia:
๐๐๐๐ฃ ๐๐ข๐ ๐ ๐จ๐ก๐๐๐๐ง๐๐ข๐ก ๐ฆ๐๐๐ & ๐๐๐๐
Short sentences, eye contact, and a reassuring tone can go a long way โ even when words are lost, feelings remain.

Familiar photos, treasured music, and consistent routines can be grounding and comforting.
๐๐ข๐๐จ๐ฆ ๐ข๐ก ๐๐๐๐๐๐ก๐๐ฆ, ๐ก๐ข๐ง ๐๐๐๐ง๐ฆ
Correcting or challenging memory lapses can cause distress. Instead, respond to the emotion behind the words โ thatโs where connection lives.
๐ฃ๐ฅ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐๐ง๐๐ฆ๐ ๐ฆ๐๐๐๐ง๐ฌ & ๐ฅ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐๐ก๐
A structured day with gentle cues can reduce anxiety and promote independence.

Caring for someone with dementia can be emotionally and physically exhausting. Accept help. Take breaks. Your wellbeing matters too.
At Active Care Accommodation, our dementia-friendly SIL homes are designed to be peaceful, supportive spaces where participants feel secure and cared for โ and where families feel confident in their loved oneโs care.
If youโd like to talk to us about what Dementia with Dignity looks like in real life, weโre always here to listen.
