Dementia Care

We are proud to offer Dementia Care at our purpose built care home in the very heart of Sheffield, South Yorkshire, where the care is tailored to each resident. Our highly-skilled dementia care team has undertaken extensive training in dealing with all various elements and aspects of Dementia. We are committed to presenting staff with every opportunity to develop their training and knowledge in this specialist care type, ensuring that as a care home, we provide only the best dementia care in Sheffield.

Fully understanding the benefits living a fulfilled life can have on older people or those living with an imposing illness, our Activity Coordinators go above and beyond, collaborating with residents and the wider team to identify activities and therapies that are appropriate for their specific needs and help them flourish. Our Sheffield care home has an open-door policy and encourages a regular open line of communication between our care home teams, our residents, and their relatives.

Dementia Care in Sheffield

Our approach to care is to help maintain a resident’s sense of self and independence for as long as possible. Here at The Porterbrook, we recognise that no two individuals are the same and while some may only require minimal assistance in managing their daily lives while living with Dementia, others may require a different type of care, usually at a higher level. All residents are welcomed into our care home where they will receive a high standard of care and compassion. Our care home staff takes time to get to know our residents in order to create an accurate picture of their life and enhance their quality of life, comfort, and well-being.

A Wealth of Dementia Care Knowledge

Our approach to care is unique to each individual. Our focus is on ensuring that each resident feels comfortable and safe and has everything they should wish for in their new home. Our aim is always to foster independence, and our experienced team is highly focused on delivering the best person-centred care. Our wealth of specialist dementia care knowledge and experience working with individuals who have the condition allows our wonderful staff to provide an unrivalled care service in a warm and safe environment. When it comes to supporting people living with dementia, there is no one-size-fits-all approach, therefore the daily care provided is tailored to each resident’s needs, taking into account the wishes of their families. We also get involved with the local community as a way of supporting others going through similar situations.
