The most common mental illness in the elderly is dementia of which there are several types. Dementia causes damage to different areas of the brain in different individuals – as such, no two residents can be considered as having the same illness. Ensuring that we treat each resident as an individual is an essential part of the care we deliver and also figures heavily in our staff training and development activities.

Much of the work of our care staff involves the physical care of our residents, as elderly people with dementia need frequent assistance in daily life. However at Brindaavan Care the quality of human contact in giving care to our residents is of the utmost importance.

At Brindaavan Care we are very proud of our professional, helpful staff; immense effort is put into maintaining the constantly high standards achieved in the home. The majority of our staff are either NVQ trained or are working towards their respective NVQs. We are firmly committed to investing in our staff and all staff receives extensive training. A high patient to staff ratio allows us to provide individually assessed care to each resident. Our team of Registered Nurses, through close liaison with a GP, is able to nurse residents in the home usually avoiding admission to hospital which can be distressing for residents.
