Millennium launch video series
Millennium has released a series of informative videos covering dementia and highlighting non-institutionalised approaches to care as it prepares to open a specialised home.
With five homes in the North West, we're set to open our sixth home later this year which will support the growing need for EMI care beds in the region.
In anticipation of the grand opening, we've shared information on the home’s approach to care as well as educating the public on topics around dementia.
The short videos include unique ways to deliver care such as the household model, utilising nature, music therapy and a non-pharmacological approach to care.
These ideas are embedded across our home as and when they can, all of which are rated at least Good by the independent regulator, CQC.
Langtree Care Home, a 52-bed home, will complete the Standish Care Village, which will harness all the ideas to ensure all residents age with vibrancy.
The household model of care is an approach that breaks the norm of traditional dementia care, giving residents added autonomy while creating a home-like environment. This has been implemented successfully at Millennium’s other dementia specialist home, Worthington Lake.
A non-pharmacological approach looks at minimising the reliance on medication in care settings while finding alternative ways to create positive outcomes for residents. Connection to nature and music therapy have proven benefits touching on overall wellbeing and cognitive function.
“We hope these short videos provide clear and quality information that can help people in their dementia journey. Whether it provides positive outcomes for themselves or a loved one.
“The videos highlight aspects and approaches that Millennium Care homes instil but can also be incorporated into everyday home life. Our new home, Langtree, will utilise all the approaches and we look forward to seeing it benefit our residents from the moment they walk through the doors.”
