Dementia Care Individual routines based on personalities When caring for service users with dementia, it is very important to keep them active and mentally stimulated. To this end, Country Court Care s staff are trained to promote stimulating and relevant activities within the home. Early diagnosis of dementia helps the patient better understand what is happening to them and the provision of good information enables both patient and carer alike to make informed choices. As this degenerative disease can lead to a patient becoming isolated, we create individual routines for dementia patients based on their own personalities not only helping them to maintain health and happiness, but also creating new possibilities and hobbies for their later lives. We strongly believe that the capabilities of any service user are only limited to the opportunities they receive.
