Providing Outstanding Care in Poole, Dorset
At Aranlaw House, our mission is to help individuals with dementia live their lives as happily and independently as possible.
Before they move in, each resident receives a personalised care plan that covers all aspects of their care, from capabilities to dietary requirements and lifestyle preferences. We use pre-assessments and consultations with family members and medical professionals to create these tailored plans that promote independence as much as possible.
To find out more, get in touch with our friendly team online or by calling 01202 078701.
Every plan is designed to allow each resident to carry out their daily life with independance and dignity through being flexible and unobtrusive. Our staff deliver sensitively and attentively, which ensures the people who live at Aranlaw House feel cared about and cared for.
The team at Aranlaw House follows the Dr Gemma Jones behavioural staging model, which places dementia into progressive stages. This model helps the teams to deliver a level of care that reflects the current needs and capabilities of each person living with dementia, rather than give them generalised care based on their overall condition.
With symptoms of dementia ranging from memory loss, difficulties in thinking, disorientation, and eventually difficulties in speaking and communicating, every member of our care team has been trained to recognise the progressive nature of each stage. This allows them to monitor changing behaviours and adapt care plans.
At Aranlaw House, we use electronic records to ensure all notes reflect the needs and preferences of each resident. This allows us to closely monitor their behavioural patterns, health and wellbeing, and update their care plan accordingly.
During this time, we encourage friends and family to as much time as they wish with their loved one.
After your loved one has passed, the team offers on-going support for those who are grieving and will do everything they can to ease this process.
We understand that your loved one may have dietary requirement for a number of reasons. Whether it is for medical, ethical or religious reasons, we respect each of our residents requirements and will provide delicious meals that have been adapted to meet their needs. If a resident doesn’t like the look of what’s on the menu for any particular day, they’ll be more than happy to cook a meal they prefer instead.
