About the care
Dementia care programme
Benslow Management have specialised in caring for people with Dementia for over 10 years. We are devoted to the special needs of seniors that are experiencing memory loss, perhaps through Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. Our expertise is built on years of experience and we believe our approach to care is an expert one.
Our programme of care includes:
• Comfort through prompting memories
• Indoor and outdoor areas
• Safe and secure environment
• Features that keep the mind active
• Special calm areas to soothe
Activities for residents
There is a wide programme of organised activities at Highbury Rise overseen by our full time activity organiser. These are designed to cover a range of interests, from sing-along’s and arts and crafts to cooking and reminiscence sessions. Singers and musicians come to entertain, and a Pet as Therapy dog visits the home every week. There are also opportunities for individuals to be involved with every day activities within the home and gardens. We take small groups in our own minibus on shopping trips and to the local pub for lunch. We also organise a number of summer outings.
Professional services
We have regular visits from a GP, Chiropodist, Hairdresser and mobile library, and can arrange appointments with dentist and optician, as required. To ensure residents’ spiritual needs are met, we hold multi-denominational services within the home. In addition, a Church of England vicar and a Roman Catholic priest visit us regularly.
