Lister Residential Home provides specialist care for 32 Dementia sufferers under and over pension age, currently the youngest is 53 and the oldest is 96 years old. We have on occasions accepted clients who have known psychiatric illness, however, it is essential the Dementia is the primary problem. Philosophically it is universally agreed amongst medical, nursing staff, and other authorities concerned with Dementia, People suffering from Dementia should not be cared for in the same environment as those who do not. We therefore feel that as a specialist home we are providing a home for people with Dementia at whatever stage, which is geared to the needs of this client group, developing a greater understanding and expertise amongst the care staff. |

We make provision in three main areas:- a) Specialist care for all categories of Dementia b) Day care for Dementia sufferers. c) Training in understanding and management of Dementia Training schemes for staff have been developed to include a formal recognised qualification, the N.V.Q and are part of Aged Concerns Consortium. Admission Criteria We admit residents with a diagnosis of dementia, as it is our basic philosophy that it is to the advantage of those who have dementia to have their own coterie. We accept referrals from professional agencies, i.e. social workers, G.P., from the community, hospital and existing residential accommodation. |
