An early and accurate dementia diagnosis changes everything 🤍

It brings clarity where there is confusion, understanding where there is fear, and time, time to plan, to adjust, and to care with intention.

In South Africa, many people living with dementia are never formally diagnosed, leaving families without the guidance and support they deserve. Early and accurate diagnosis helps identify the type of dementia, opens the door to proper care, and allows loved ones to make informed decisions with dignity and confidence.

No one should have to walk this journey without answers.
Early diagnosis is not about labels, it’s about compassion, planning, and quality of life.

Movement is a vital part of care for elders living with dementia.

Gentle, guided exercise helps maintain muscle strength, balance, and mobility, reducing the risk of falls and physical decline.

It also supports brain health by improving blood circulation, which can help with alertness and cognitive function.

Just as importantly, regular movement has a calming effect, easing anxiety, restlessness, and agitation, while promoting better sleep and overall emotional wellbeing.

When movement is done with care and encouragement, it restores a sense of routine, dignity, and connection to the world around them. 🌿

These ladies are not just our staff and they’re not just caregivers.
They are family.

Every resident is treated with love, dignity, and the same care we would give our own loved ones. Real bonds are formed here, through shared moments, gentle conversations, and genuine connection.

Our nurses, caregivers, and kitchen staff make it their mission every single day to ensure our residents feel safe, valued, and truly at home. From personal care to warm meals and familiar smiles, everything is done with heart.

Because here, care goes beyond duty, it’s built on compassion, trust, and family 🤍

At the end of the day, what matters most is kindness. There’s no such thing as a perfect visit, we’re all human. 🩷

Showing up is what truly counts.

Eating is something we often take for granted, but for someone living with dementia, it can become confusing, overwhelming, and emotionally difficult.

We understand that mealtimes are about more than nutrition. They’re about patience, dignity, and creating a calm, reassuring environment where every resident feels supported and cared for 🤍

Activities like knitting help our residents stay mentally engaged, improve hand coordination, and maintain a sense of routine and purpose. The gentle, repetitive movements can be calming, reduce anxiety, and even spark memories and conversations from years gone by.

Most importantly, it gives residents something they can feel proud of, creating, focusing, and staying connected to themselves and those around them. At Grace, these small, meaningful moments are part of how we care for the whole person, with dignity, patience, and compassion 🧶✨

Dementia is not a single disease, it’s a term used to describe a group of symptoms that affect memory, thinking, behaviour, and the ability to cope with everyday life.

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia and accounts for around 60–70% of cases.

While all people with Alzheimer’s have dementia, not everyone with dementia has Alzheimer’s. Other causes can include vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, and more.

Understanding the difference helps reduce fear, improve early support, and ensure better care for those affected.

Education leads to compassion and compassion leads to better care.

Our caregivers work tirelessly around the clock to support our residents, ensuring they feel safe, valued, and genuinely cared for.

With compassion, patience, and dedication, they do more than provide care, they create a warm, loving environment that feels like home 🤍

Understanding dementia goes beyond one diagnosis 🧠

From Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia to Lewy body, frontotemporal, Parkinson’s-related, and mixed dementia, each type affects the brain in different ways.

Awareness helps us recognise symptoms, support loved ones, and approach care with compassion.

Getting outside, feeling the sun on your skin, and spending time with loved ones, these simple moments matter more than we realize.

Our beautiful garden is where residents can breathe fresh air, soak up the sunshine, and share quality time with family in a peaceful, welcoming space.

We know how important it is for wellbeing, physically and emotionally. That’s why we’ve created outdoor spaces that invite connection, joy, and the healing power of nature.

Every detail has been thoughtfully planned with our residence wellbeing in mind
