Dementia Care

We believe the environment and continuity of care staff is fundamental when supporting residents living with dementia.

Improving Quality of Life for Residents living with Mild to Moderate Dementia

Based on the ‘Inspired’ research project in Australia, Nyton set out to create a Home-Like clustered domestic Model of Care. Traditional residential aged care settings tend to be large facilities based on the medical model. At Nyton, we believe the environment is key and set out to develop a domestic feel to the Coach House & Gables to encourage and support independence and re-enablement. Nyton House is not a Nursing Home and the Home Like Model of care is only suitable for Residents with Mild Dementia due to the open communal style of living.

Dedicated Dementia Accommodation offers:

9 en-suite bedrooms (Coach House) 10 en-suite bedrooms (Gables)

A safe, self-contained unit with rooms and furniture designed specifically for dementia

Accessible outdoor spaces that residents can access independently

Consistent Care Staff for continuity and improved relationships

Residents assist with meal preparation

A kitchenette to enable self-service

Re-enablement – Dignity - Well Being

The Inspire Model of Care (Investigating Services Provided in Residential Care Environment for Dementia looked investigated quality of life, medications and hospital referrals.

Our philosophy:

Help residents to feel at home in their own room and shared spaces

Flexible Care Routines

Sufficient staff numbers to allow Carers to spend time with residents

Provide easy access to outdoor spaces and gardens to promote well-being

Create opportunities to feel valued and independent irrespective of cognitive disability

Rooms

Our partners have helped create rooms that feel like home while reflecting the latest research into dementia-friendly environments. We have tried to support wayfinding without losing the Home-Like feeling and have considered colour, lighting and furnishing to create a safe, familiar and calming space. Every room has an un-suite wheelchair accessible toilet and all room are a minimum

A Trailblazer in supporting technologies

Safer, more independent living for residents is supported through technology. The Gables uses LIDAR (Light detection and Ranging) throughout the building to record movement and identify all falls risk. This technology monitors carer interactions and resident mobility to ensure responsive care. We recognise the challenges in pain management where there is a disability creates a communication barrier. At Nyton, we use Pain Chek AI face recognition tools to support our Carers in pain management. Another example of how innovation improves the lives of our residents,
