About our Client:
Cedarhurst Dementia Care Home is a small and secure residence for people living with dementia including Alzheimer’s. We offer care for a maximum of 26 residents. Each section in the home has six or seven residents, sharing their own kitchen and dining area, with a dedicated personal support worker. The strong caregiving support within each small group allows residents the comfort of their routines plus the opportunity to enjoy flexibility in their day-to-day activities.
Our goal is to provide a nurturing home-like environment, engaging residents through creative, stimulating and meaningful activities that suit each individual’s needs and abilities. Cedarhurst Dementia Care Home is different from most retirement homes and nursing homes in that we do not provide dementia care as an add-on to a more general business.
