Mental health Concern: Briarwood Meadows

24-hour specialist dementia care. What we do and how we help We care for people who, because of their dementia, behave in ways that can be challenging or hard to understand. Our main focus is on getting to know the person as well as we can, so that we can meet their needs in ways that improve wellbeing. This is because we know that a person with dementia is just that – a person. We are a specialist mental health service that is commissioned by the NHS. This means that we have high levels of qualified nursing staff available 24 hours a day, helped by our team of experienced support workers, to enable the people we care for to: keep a sense of meaning and purpose in life protect personal relationships and social networks nurture hope and self-esteem maintain independence, choice and control stay in touch with their local communities, and be active citizens have a sense of stability and consistency Information updated from website: http://mhc.cargodev.co.uk/our-services/older-peoples-services/briarwood-meadows/
