We also have an exclusive 8 bed dementia care facility called Falcon Place, which is situated next to the care home. Support at Newington Court is based on careful assessment, building up a picture of people’s lives that can contribute to regularly reviewed personalised care plans. In turn, these help determine clinical approaches, risk assessment, finding the diet that suits the individuals likes and dislikes and activities picked on the same basis. Activities at Newington Court include exercise, quizzes, singing and reminiscence.
