DEMENTIA STRATEGY
At Aria Care, we understand how important it is for couples to stay together in their later years. That’s why many of our homes offer specialist support, allowing couples to continue their journey side by side, even if their care needs differ. With personalised care plans and a warm, home from home environment, they enjoy independence, companionship, and lasting security.
At Aria Care, we believe that every individual living with dementia deserves to be treated with dignity, compassion, and respect. That’s why we are proud to introduce our new dementia strategy, Living with Heart, Loving with Care – a holistic approach designed to enhance the lives of those affected by dementia while providing effective and safe person-centred care. With nearly a million people in the UK living with dementia, a number expected to rise to 1.4 million by 2040, we’re committed to helping residents maintain their independence with purpose and joy. Our strategy supports the dementia journey - from diagnosis and family support to meaningful activities, homely environments, and compassionate end-of-life care. We empower our teams with specialised dementia training and embrace innovative technology to enrich residents' daily lives.
Rob and Irene’s Story
“There’s a whole new chapter waiting here. We are so happy, we feel like part of the family, and most importantly – we have peace of mind knowing we’ll always be together.”
After 70 years of marriage, Rob and Irene continue to share their lifelong bond at Coxhill Manor, where they’ve found a true home. The decision to move into care came when Rob’s health declined, and they wanted to ease the burden on their daughter. Although they were initially anxious about the move, their worries quickly faded as they were welcomed by a kind team, a warm community, and a beautiful room full of their treasured belongings. Now, they enjoy a new kind of independence, free from household responsibilities. They spend their days walking in the
garden, enjoying activities like Bingo, Countdown, and Sunday church services, and even sing together in the choir. For couples considering care, Rob and Irene have one heartfelt message:
We encourage residents to continue their hobbies, whether it’s making tea, engaging in arts and crafts, or attending community groups. Memory stimulation is key, with reminiscence activities that encourage meaningful conversations and connections. At Aria Care, we never lose sight
of the person behind dementia. While moving into a care home is a big change, who our residents are remains the same. Dementia may shape their journey, but it does not define them. We honour their story, identity, and choices - helping them live life to the fullest, with heart and care.
