Dementia Special Care
Unit
 The
Dementia Special Care Unit at Fairhaven is dedicated to providing
a safe, structured and supportive environment for its Residents.
By contributing to their environment and their companions, we
believe each person with dementia will be able to live a purposeful
and meaningful life.
Resident care is our first priority.
Our staff has dedicated themselves to understanding what life
is like for someone who has dementia. The staff has completed
specialized training, not only to deal with the confusion associated
with the disease, but also the importance of listening to each
Resident.
The Special Care Unit is an activity-oriented
program designed to serve the best interests of Residents and
make activities enriching and rewarding experiences. We offer
individualized activities to meet each Resident's attention capabilities.
Activities
include:
- A personal encounter
- Daily housekeeping routines
- Self-care activities
- Planned events/outings
- Spontaneous events/activities
- Religious services/activities
Residents are interviewed upon
admission to establish activity preferences so that an individual
plan can be implemented.
Other services
that the Special Care Unit provides are:
- Physical, Occupational, Speech
and Respiratory Therapies
- Secured environment
- Outside seating and patio area
- Semi-private rooms
- Support Groups
- Respite Care
