Situated in the metropolitan borough of Wirral, our purpose-built care home, Hazelwell, offers residents Dementia Care, alongside Residential Care, Nursing Care, and Respite Care. We provide luxury accommodation and facilities for up to 55 residents, as well as elderly care and support to those with specific health conditions.
Dementia is a condition that most commonly affects the cognitive functions of those living with it, such as their ability to think, remember and communicate. There are varying levels and types of dementia and it can affect people in all different ways. Dementia care is designed to provide support and assistance to those living with the progressive condition, and there are a number of ways in which someone can receive dementia dare, such as in a Residential Care Home or Nursing Home.
Where and how support for those living with dementia is provided is dependent on the person, as symptoms and severity differ in each case. Recognising the signs and symptoms of dementia is the first step in identifying what support is needed for yourself or a loved one. Signs of early to mid-stages of dementia can look like forgetting dates or appointments, struggling in social situations, and experiencing difficulty with day-to-day tasks and chores.
Dementia is a progressive condition, meaning that symptoms worsen, though these are also at differing rates for each person living with the condition. A more advanced level of dementia can cause those to lose awareness of their surroundings and experiences and require help with mobility and communication. Assessments can be carried out to help determine what support is needed. A care home will provide a supportive environment where specialised and professional care is given 24/7 by a team of Nurses.
Wirral is a metropolitan borough that includes many major towns such as Birkenhead, Hoylake, and Heswall, the location of our luxury, all-inclusive care home. Our care home is located in the idyllic countryside, between the River Dee and the River Mersey, and has picturesque views out to the estuary and towards North East Wales. This means there is plenty of opportunities for our residents to keep active, get fresh air, and enjoy nature, with Cleaver Heath Nature Reservation within walking distance, and Wirral Country Park just a 5-minute drive away.
Not only is Wirral great for countryside exploring, but it also has coastal delights too. For lovers of the seaside, both Thurstaston Beach, which is great for walking and picnics and West Kirby Beach, which is ideal for grabbing a coffee or ice cream are both less than 15 minutes from our home. Having such areas of natural beauty so close to us is great for all of our residents but especially those living with dementia, as they can reap the calming benefits that the great outdoors has. Residents can also gain such benefits by accessing our landscaped gardens and roof terrace.
