Dementia care: what it means

Good dementia care keeps routines familiar, helps with eating and drinking, and handles distress without leaning on medication. Staff are trained to keep people safe while leaving them as much independence as possible.

Towards nursing costs, the NHS pays NHS-funded nursing care for residents who qualify. Getting in touch with Hampshire council.
