More intensive nursing support as dementia progresses, in a Wallington house of 36 single rooms.
Knowing a person well is a real clinical advantage in advanced dementia, because someone who can no longer speak may show pain or distress only through small changes. Bridge House Care Centre has 36 bedrooms, so nurses and care staff in Wallington get to know each resident's usual expressions and habits.
Registered nurses are on duty day and night to oversee medication, nutrition, skin care and changing health. Help with eating, drinking and personal care is given slowly and privately. For people who can still enjoy it, a sit in the conservatory among the raised beds or in the well courtyard gives a change of scene without much effort.
We talk openly with relatives from Wallington, Carshalton and Sutton about what to expect, and we work with GPs and community nurses. Where comfort becomes the main aim, palliative care follows on naturally. Assessed needs can also be met through one-to-one support for specific hours.
