Reconnect Stories: Albert & Collette
With our holistic approach to care, teams across our dementia-specialist Reconnect communities understand the importance of offering support to not just the person living with dementia, but to their loved ones, too.
At Green Park Nursing Home in Warrington, Albert's wife, Collette, praised the team for adapting Albert's care plan to ensure they spend quality time together as husband and wife.
What is a Reconnect community?
Our Reconnect communities offer genuine inclusion by supporting residents to remain independent, engaged and interested in daily activities of their choosing. We believe people living with dementia can live a full and active lifestyle, and should be able to continue with their hobbies and passions with the support of our incredible team.
We encourage positive involvement, giving people a voice and supporting them to live a fulfilled life. Our dementia-specialist teams put together individualised care plans to ensure their medical, physical and emotional needs are met, and have adopted ground-breaking technologies to safely monitor levels of distress in our residents. It's thanks to this that we've seen people's lives completely transform and truly thrive in their new surroundings.
To make this kind of living possible, we have higher ratios of carers, nurses and care assistants; all of who have received enhanced training in dementia care. Our Dementia Promise enables our team to genuinely understand the needs of a person living with dementia, and put practical, effective care plans in place. We work with the resident, family and health professionals to ensure they receive the highest level of care, suited to their needs.
"I can’t get through to her old memories anymore; I believe they’re gone. What I can do, however, is make memories in the present – and that’s what Langfield does so wonderfully.
They help us create these moments together by organising special days, activities and events, which is something I didn’t see in Susan’s other care homes.”
- David, husband of resident at Langfield Care Home
