THE CARE

At Ben Madigan we understand that choosing a care home for yourself, a loved one, or someone in your care can be a difficult and sometimes daunting experience. We offer an open and friendly atmosphere and our home manager would welcome any questions you may have about our home and the types of care we provide. Visitors are welcome anytime during the day.
We believe in high quality, individual care delivered by dedicated and appropriately trained staff. We encourage our residents to be as active, and to retain as much of their independence, as possible. Our focus at Ben Madigan is to maximise the potential of the individual at any stage of their life enabling them to focus on their abilities.

An individual with dementia has difficulty with memory, concentration and logic and can often find it hard to communicate what they need and how they feel. Subsequently, they can often become frustrated and have intense feelings surrounding their confusion over life experiences.
At Ben Madigan we encourage involvement with families to ensure relevant personal memorabilia is used to stimulate reminiscence and promote conversation. This person-centred approach allows us to see the resident as a whole person, not only someone suffering from dementia. We also incorporate latest research and dementia mapping to assist in developing an individualised care plan.
