Early Onset Dementia and
Progressive Neurological Conditions
We provide specialist neurological care for people with Early Onset Dementia (sometimes known as young onset dementia) and progressive neurological conditions.
Our care model minimises the impact of the behavioural and psychological symptoms, maximises independence and maintains quality of life using a biopsychosocial approach that addresses the mental, physical and social needs of every resident.
Our services can accommodate a wide range of illnesses, such as:
People who have a diagnosis of early onset often regard themselves as distinct from older people with Dementia. Despite similar symptoms, the context in which they experience the condition creates a range of distinct psychosocial concerns not commonly well addressed by the industry. They typically want to maintain their current lifestyle as closely as possible. We aim to work with residents to manage their presentation, while offering safe environment that supports their needs.
Progressive neurological disorders are conditions where there is a progressive deterioration in functioning. Progression may occur gradually over many years or rapidly over weeks and months. These disorders will affect an individual for the rest of their life and may include the need for nursing care and behavioural support for the long-term. Our care in this area aims to provide the support associated with a care home environment, while enabling independent living, in a safe and homely environment.
