Elmsdene

At Sheridan Care, we're passionate about providing person-centred day and residential care for people with dementia. We believe that caring for people with dementia should be a positive experience for all involved. For residents, it's the beginning of a new phase of their lives, where they can reconnect with themselves and others once again, under our expert and sensitive guidance. For relatives, it's an opportunity to forge closer, more meaningful relationships with their loved ones, free from the pressures and tensions that inevitably arise when dealing with dementia at home. For us, it's an opportunity to apply the person and relationship-centred care principles that can help enrich the lives of our residents and bring families closer together.

Our Vision and Values

Our vision is to ensure that residents' lives are enriched through the person-centred approach. Our core values are to uphold honesty, communicate effectively, work as a partnership, and be empathetic. We believe that these values allow residents to feel fulfilled and comfortable at our homes. Staff members are intensively trained to adopt skills which allow them to adhere to our core values. To ensure the standard of care is always excellent, we continue to invest in staff training and refurbishment.

Person-Centred Care

Facilities are, of course, important, and we are continuously investing in the refurbishment and development of our buildings and infrastructure. But when it comes to caring, we focus on feelings, not facts, which means treating every resident and day care visitor as a whole human being, an individual. It's about joining every individual in our care in their own "life moments" rather than forcing them, through routines and practices alien to them, to conform to ours. Achieving this demands a strong cultural commitment from all Sheridan Care staff to the principle creation of an environment that respects a person's past life as well as their present feelings.

Relationship-Centred Care

The quality of relationships between residents, staff, friends, and relatives is closely linked to quality of life. Every opportunity is therefore taken to engage relatives in the life of the home, for the benefit of all. At Sheridan Care, relatives, residents, and staff enjoy recreational activities together, such as baking, gardening, arts and crafts, and outings to local places of interest - giving all the opportunity to relate to each other and enjoy the reassurance, closeness, and wellbeing that worthwhile relationships foster.
