Understanding Dementia and Alzheimer’s

Dementia is not a single disease but a collection of symptoms caused by disorders affecting the brain. Alzheimer's disease is the most common form, followed by vascular dementia and other types. Each individual experiences dementia differently, which is why care must be highly personalised.

At Barton Place, we specialise in understanding the subtleties of each type of dementia and creating care plans that reflect the specific needs of every resident. This ensures that everyone receives support that matches both their medical and emotional needs.

The Role of Environment in Dementia Care

A well-designed environment can significantly ease the symptoms of dementia. Our facilities feature clear signage, calming colour schemes, and secure outdoor spaces that encourage independence while maintaining safety.

We’ve also created sensory spaces to provide stimulation and comfort. These areas are used for therapeutic sessions and spontaneous interaction, helping reduce agitation and promote joy.

Family Involvement and Ongoing Communication

Choosing a care home is not a one-time decision - it’s an ongoing journey that requires consistent communication and trust. At Barton Place, we involve families every step of the way through:

- Regular care reviews

- Family engagement events

- Transparent communication channels

Our care extends beyond the resident to include families and carers, creating a supportive network that benefits everyone.

Why Location Matters

Being situated in Exeter offers significant advantages for families. With great transport links and local amenities, families can visit easily, ensuring residents maintain meaningful connections. Our partnerships with local GPs, hospitals, and community groups also mean residents have access to extended healthcare and engagement opportunities.
