Compassionate Dementia Care Approach

Belvedere Aged Care, Noble Park is dedicated to providing a nurturing and supportive environment for older adults living with dementia. Our person-centered care approach ensures that each resident receives tailored support that respects their individuality, enhances their well-being, and promotes a sense of belonging.

At the heart of Belvedere’s dementia care philosophy is an emphasis on understanding the unique needs and experiences of every resident. Staff are highly trained in dementia care, creating a safe and inclusive environment that fosters comfort and security. Through therapeutic activities, sensory stimulation, and meaningful engagement, Belvedere helps residents maintain their cognitive and physical abilities while enhancing their quality of life.

Our boutique, family-owned and operated facility recognises the importance of our resident’s loved ones and family involvement in dementia care. Families are encouraged to participate in our lifestyle activities, express and celebrate culture and custom and engage regularly with our clinical and care team. We believe in fostering deeper connections and reinforcing a sense of familiarity to support for our residents’ wellbeing.

Belvedere’s comprehensive services include customised care plans, specialised dementia-friendly spaces, and compassionate staff who prioritise dignity, respect, and empathy. These efforts ensure that older adults living with dementia can experience a fulfilling and enriching life within a caring community.

Tips for Supporting Loved Ones with Dementia During Christmas

Families play a crucial role in ensuring a joyous holiday season for loved ones living with dementia. Consider these tips:

Simplify celebrations: Keep gatherings small and familiar to reduce overstimulation.

Create a quiet space: Designate a calm area for rest if your loved one feels overwhelmed.

Engage in familiar traditions: Incorporate songs, foods, or decorations that evoke positive memories.

Communicate openly: Keep instructions and conversations simple and clear.

Be patient and flexible: Adapt to their comfort level and energy throughout the day.

Involve them meaningfully: Assign small, manageable tasks like decorating or folding napkins.

This thoughtful approach can make Christmas a joyous occasion for everyone involved.
