High-quality dementia care is about more than looking at the condition’s symptoms. It’s about getting to know the person themselves – their history, interests, skills, and personality – and customising their care plan to best suit them.
While the term “dementia” is used to describe a range of symptoms caused by specific brain conditions, including memory loss, confusion, and difficulty with speech and comprehension, these symptoms vary from person to person.
At LuxuryCare, we follow Dr Gemma Jones’ ‘behavioural staging’ model of dementia care. She defines ‘ideal care’ as:
“The attitude and supportive actions which make a person feel valued, safe, nurtured, and cared for, regardless of their illness, the stage of their illness, irrespective of their gender, race, creed, past achievements, or their shortcomings as a human being.”
Below, we’ve outlined our approach to care, explained what behavioural staging involves, and provided an overview of the common stages experienced by individuals with dementia.

Our Approach to Care
Our approach to providing care centres around each person’s unique life story. By getting to know their likes, dislikes, biography, and lifestyle, we can create a tailored care plan that respects their identity and dignity, even as dementia progresses.
This approach lets us see the person behind the condition, rather than just the symptoms of dementia. We can then provide meaningful activities and daily life experiences that are tailored to the individual.
Ultimately, our person-centred approach to care recognises that each individual has a unique story to tell. By valuing and incorporating their life story, we can provide compassionate and respectful care that honours them throughout their time with us.
