Nursing and Dementia care is our bread and butter and is what our home is geared towards. Our team have been highly trained into key aspects of care for residents suffering with Dementia.

Dementia is a broad category of brain diseases that cause a long term and often a gradual decrease in the ability to think and remember; great enough to affect a person's daily functioning.

Here at Leighton House, we care for residents with the following:

Alzheimer’s • Parkinsons • Dementia • COPD • Motor Neurone Disease • Multiple Sclerosis • Muscular • Dystrophy • Diabetes • Dual Diagnosis

A comprehensive, holistic patient assessment is used at Leighton House for High Dependency. Through holistic assessment, our nurses are able to deliver person-centred care to patients. This is crucial to successful nursing care planning and maximising positive patient outcomes. Other key aspects we take into consideration for our high dependency care include:

Bipolar Disorder • Anxiety • Schizopherenia • Eating Disorder • Personality Disorder • PTSD • Psychosis • Self Neglect • Phobia • Paranoia

Residents with high dependency needs are supported on our Ground Floor under close supervision and will have regular monitoring via the GP and Nursing Team to ensure their needs are constantly being met.
