Bloomcare is an industry leading specialist in memory care that provides personalised services, onsite amenities, life enrichment programmes and resident-centred health care in intimate, access-controlled, professionally managed settings.
One of the most important aspects of dementia care is acknowledging that dementia is not merely a normal part of the aging process. Nor does the term refer to a single condition. In reality, dementia is an umbrella term that describes a group of symptoms that cause progressive nerve cell damage within the brain. It can stem from various causes and have different outcomes, but all forms of dementia need to be addressed with appropriate care.
The most common type of dementia is Alzheimer’s disease. In fact, nowadays, many people are assessed with a combination of Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia. All of the practices, routines and ideals that are an integral part of Bloomcare’s approach are even more effective and important when implemented in specialist dementia care.
The Bloomcare family focuses on building trusting, compassionate relationships with the clients it serves, taking the time to get to know each resident on an individual level and learning their life stories and personalities. In fact, these are the very foundations of effective dementia care, providing a route to a better, happier, more fulfilling and stimulating way of life for both residents and the families sharing their journey with them.
Recognising the integral roles families play in dementia care, the Bloomcare Rowan Garth residence stages regular educational sessions and forums, helping to provide families with the information and support that they need. Bloomcare Rowan Garth starts each journey by asking residents and families to complete an ‘About Me’ folio, enabling Bloomcare staff to learn more about the resident and how they like to spend their days. This is an important first step in terms of building a personal lifestyle profile to ensure that each day lives up to Bloomcare’s commitment to fulfilling all aspects of its six senses framework.
At the Bloomcare Rowan Garth residence, team members respond to each client on an individual level, treating residents with the integrity and respect they deserve. A member of the Dementia Action Alliance, Bloomcare provides quarterly progress reports on a national level, ensuring that the organisation remains on track to meet and surpass annual action plans to improve care services.
Developed by dementia experts with decades of personal and professional dementia experience, Bloomcare’s innovative dementia programme enables the organisation to accommodate people affected by early, middle and late-stage Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia. The Bloomcare Rowan Garth residence benefits from a dedicated panel of onsite experts, all of whom appreciate the unpredictability of memory limitations and receive extensive training to help clients negotiate these challenges.
Bloomcare’s facilities and buildings are purposely created to facilitate memory care. The organisation operates a Circle of Care philosophy, culminating in a compassionate, family-friendly, sociable environment to aid residents in regaining a sense of independence. Bloomcare celebrates the individual, helping each resident to live their life to the full by doing the things that matter to them through personalised activities and person-centred care.
