If you really want to help somebody, first of all you must find him where he is and start there. This is the secret of caring. If you cannot do that, it is only an illusion if you think you can help another human being. Helping somebody implies your understanding more than he does, but first of all you must understand what he understands. If you cannot do that, your understanding will be of no avail……… the helper must be humble in his attitude towards the people he wants to help. He must understand that helping is not dominating, but serving. Caring implies patience as well as acceptance of not being right and of not understanding what the other person understands.
In dementia, a person’s behaviour or behaviour changes are never seen as senseless, crazy or stupid.
Our skilled staff can often pieced together the meaning of a given behaviour in the person with dementia, taking into account previous events, triggers, family information or observation about what the person is trying to do.
Reduced logical thinking ability and memory abilities may prevent a person from being able to have insight into their behaviour. Reduced verbal ability can make even attempts to explain it impossible.
You may be interested to know that during her stay with you, she received a visit from a member of the Dorset Healthcare Community Mental Health team. She has remarked to me how impressed she was with the care my Mother received whilst with you, the caring approach and the way staff positively engaged with her to provide reassurance. This was consistent with my own observations and those of other visitors.

Excellent care home. We cannot fault the service and the staff are amazing, so friendly and always have a smile on their faces. After Dad could not care for Mum anymore we were anxious about putting her in care, the staff made the transition smooth and put our minds at rest. Regency Manor has now become Mum's safe place and myself and the rest of the family are happy she is there.
Mrs P Jordan, Regency Manor
I have only good things to say about this care home. In my experience the residents are engaged, active and happy and the staff are caring. Management hold regular resident and relatives meetings and the activities team ensure that all residents, regardless of care need, can get involved. I took a lot of time choosing a care home for my relative and am still pleased with the choice of Regency Manor in Poole, UK.

I have looked at a range of places in Poole and I really liked Eagles Mounr Nursing Home. The home felt loved, clean and tidy. I am very impressed by all the staff especially a chap called Gary. The manager Julie and the rest of her team were friendly smiley. They are always very pleasant. The nursing team are brilliant and have listened to our concerns. The Carers have a really hard job and go above their duties and are always pleasant. They really do care. The activities team are so animated and work really hard to make sure people are active. So far so good!

My Dad has been a resident since Sept 2019 and I have nothing but praise for the health and well being of my Dad. My Mum and I could not ask for a better place for our loved one. The staff are wonderful and extremely friendly, kind and nothing is ever too much trouble for any of them. I visited many homes before placing my Dad and am pleased that I chose this wonderful caring home.

Seabourne House has supported my grandfather very well through his journey with Alzheimer's disease. As his needs have changed, the staff have adapted their approach in the best ways to ensure he gets the care he needs and throughout to remain as independent as possible. The staff have shown excellent skills and attentiveness. Manager and staff are fantastic.

We would like to bring your attention to the following extract from ‘Dancing with Dementia’ written by Christine Bryden, who was first diagnosed with dementia in 1995:
“Try to enter our distorted reality, because if you make us fit into your reality, it will cause us extra stress. You need to enter into our reality, connect with us by touch, or by look. You need to be authentically present, not far away. You need to realise that we are not far away or lost, but trapped by an inability to communicate and to think clearly, to express this strange mixed-up world being created by our brain damage. Think about this inner reality that we are experiencing, and try to connect with it. Be imaginative, be creative, try to step across the divide between our worlds.”
