Dementia is the broad term for many different types of diseases that cause memory impairment. Although the general approach to care remains the same, each type of memory loss presents care staff with unique situations. That is why our care staff at English Rose Suites are trained to know how to interact with residents that have different types of dementia.

Our highly trained care staff at English Rose Suites receive a minimum of 8 hours of training focused on dementia care, which includes understanding each disease process and how that affects approaches to cares and engagement, before staff are introduced to the residents. An important part of our dementia training focuses on how each type of dementia affects the brain differently which helps provide the best quality care. English Rose Suites’ dementia training focuses on the following forms of dementia:

• Alzheimer’s disease
• Vascular disease
• Lewy Body Dementia (LBD)
• Frontotemporal Degeneration (FTD)
• Parkinson’s disease

The ability of our staff and training is not just limited to dementia.  We have supported many residents affected by different types of physical and mentally challenging diseases such as:

• Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP)
• Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA)
• Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE)
• Wernicke-Korsakoff
• Creutzfeldt-Jakob
