Our unique dementia training at Benson House
At Benson House Care Home we are proud to be part of the only care home group to have our own unique award-winning dementia training ‘My World’ which is accredited by City and Guilds.
Living in My World
Every member of the team from our receptionists to our chefs and carers receive our unique award winning ‘Living in My World’ dementia training, so you can trust that we go further. Our training highlights the importance of meaningful activities and a stimulating environment for people living with dementia, in addition to addressing clinical aspects of care.
Food in My World
Our additional ‘Food in My World’, also accredited by City and Guilds, provides our hospitality team and chefs with the skills and knowledge to stimulate senses and increase creativity in the cooking and presentation of food. This can provide a much-improved dining experience for residents living with dementia and or dysphagia.
Finding the right care
We learn about our residents’ lives for example, their career, the places they’ve lived, and the people who are important to them. We work with them and their families to understand and capture their stories, likes and dislikes, the things that make them unique. Our residents living with dementia have every opportunity to continue with the daily activities that were such a formative part of their lives, and which make them feel happy and fulfilled.
To find out more about our approach to dementia care and our unique dementia training, book an appointment to see our home in person as our marketing suite is now open. Or if you prefer to look around from the comfort of your own home, then we can arrange a virtual tour, call freephone 0808 169 8656.
