Living with Dementia We understand the difference that high-quality person-centred dementia care can make to the quality of life of somebody living with dementia. We recognise that a person with dementia is, first and foremost, a person - unique and with a rich history of experiences, abilities, skills, knowledge, preferences, desires and personality. What is dementia? Dementia is the term used to describe a group of symptoms that occur when the brain is affected by specific diseases and conditions – such as Alzheimer’s disease or a series of mini-strokes (although not everyone who has a stroke will develop dementia). Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia, but not the only one. A person living with dementia may experience memory loss and difficulties with thinking, problem-solving or language. These symptoms differ from person to person and the experience of living with dementia can be affected by a number of factors.

Sustainable Living The Manor House Roundhay has been built with environmental considerations in mind, where some of the sustainable features of our home are highlighted below: • The building has the highest possible Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) “A Rated”. • Solar panels to reduce CO2 emissions and energy use • Private gardens have been designed to be utilised as much as possible, with the preservation of established trees and the introduction of native planting and hedging. Over time, this is intended to increase the ecological richness and biodiversity of the greater site. • Combined Heat and Power unit to reduce CO2 emissions and energy use. • Heat recovery ventilation to provide fresh air to corridors and day spaces. Enhanced Technology In addition to receiving the highest standard of care, residents at The Manor House are supported by the latest in non-intrusive care technology: • State-of-the-art Intercall Touch nurse call system, a hybrid of hard-wired infrastructure for robustness and fault monitoring, alongside wireless assistive technology to provide ultimate flexibility and cater for all our residents’ needs. • Intercall Safeguard Sensors monitor rooms where our residents are prone to falling or leaving their room at night. Positioned on the ceiling, the Safeguard sensor passively monitors bed occupancy using thermal imaging detection, to provide reassurance.

Our approach to dementia care Having a better understanding of the challenges a person living with dementia may face, and how to support them, can help us all form practical strategies to ensure people continue to live a happy and fulfilling life. At The Manor House, we believe that through compassionate and considered care, we can ensure the move is a positive one – providing an opportunity to meet others, pursue interests, and live life the way you wish. We understand that the care someone receives is fundamental in enabling them to live well with dementia. We take a holistic approach to ensure that our care reflects best practice and learning, from the home environment to the education of colleagues.

Knowing you Before moving to The Manor House, we take time to understand the interests, needs, and goals of a person, as well as learning about their background and personality. By knowing who they are and what is important to somebody, we can ensure we provide-person centred, tailored support, helping someone settle as quickly as possible. We also recognise that people change over time, and so we regularly review how we support individual residents, including them and their loved ones in the care we provide.

Being able to access outdoor space is important, as it provides the opportunity for exercise and fresh air, relieves tension and anxiety and offers personal space for reflection and privacy. Being outside stimulates the production of vitamin D, helping to maintain healthy muscles and bones. It also offers stimulation in the form of different colours, textures and natural smells and sounds. Spending time outside in a garden has been shown to positively affect a persons’ emotions and to improve their sense of wellbeing. Compassionate colleagues Our colleagues are carefully recruited and trained to ensure that warmth and understanding are at the heart of everything they do. Our carers use conversation and active listening to understand your holistic needs and desires. We are able to facilitate and create independence within personal limitations, empowering residents to take control of their life decisions. We are committed to providing ongoing training in all areas of dementia care to members of the care home team. Anchor provides in-depth training on a range of dementia topics, to ensure we are following best practice guidance at all times. We equip staff with knowledge on a range of approaches to dementia care, enabling them to be confident and knowledgeable in supporting people with differing needs. The Manor House prides itself on having higher than average resident to colleague ratios and regularly reviews the dependency levels within the home. This is particularly beneficial for our residents living with dementia, as it means (where possible) they have the same carers supporting them every day, enabling the development of strong, meaningful relationships that encourage trust and friendship.

Support for loved ones We know that the transition into a care setting affects more than just one person, and that it can be a difficult experience for the whole family. We take time to provide support with any emotional and practical help they need. We encourage family and friends to be involved in the ongoing care planning for their loved one and encourage them to visit as often as they like or are able to do so. Our supportive environment It’s important to create engaging environments, where residents can live comfortably and feel supported to maintain independence. People can become confused in their environment, so it’s a good idea to make sure everything is easily recognisable. The layout and design of The Manor House is based on best practice guidance, including appropriate signage that is clearly worded. We focus on creating a homely atmosphere, to promote feelings of safety and familiarity, as well as engaging themed areas that encourage nostalgia and reminiscence. We encourage residents to create a ‘home-from-home’ atmosphere in their bedrooms, by bringing their personal belongings into the home. Some people with dementia may have a poor appetite or lose interest in food altogether. We understand that everything from the way we set up a table, to the colour of the tablecloth or the type of crockery used, can help encourage a person to feel comfortable and confident at mealtimes.

Individual lifestyles Personal choice

We understand that everyone values keeping their independence and we respect privacy and encourage residents to choose how their care is planned and delivered. With this in mind, our staff work with residents and relatives to agree a personal lifestyle plan which helps us to understand the aspects of care that are most important. We value feedback from residents and their relatives and track satisfaction at The Manor House every month. Staying active Being interested in what is going on and taking part in fun activities is a vital part of life. We organise activities which are designed to reflect the wishes and interests of residents. We offer a stimulating range of cultural events, arts, crafts, games, coffee mornings and social evenings, as well as one-to-one activities and encourage residents to take part as much or as little as they wish. Our Zest Wellbeing programme provides gentle exercise for all abilities for health and enjoyment. Fees Care home fees can vary depending on a number of factors such as type of care provided and size of room, a member of our friendly management team will happily sit down with you to discuss costs and what is included for your weekly fee.

Care home fees Care home fees in England can vary substantially from provider to provider and from location to location. Understanding care home funding and accessing the right type of funding assistance can seem like a daunting task. It is usual for residents in care homes to

What is included in my weekly fee? At The Manor House, our weekly charge includes: • Cost of personal care • Accommodation • Utilities e.g. heating and light • All resident catering, meals, snacks and drinks • Laundry undertaken on the premises (except articles which need dry cleaning) • The option of a telephone line in a bedroom • Television licence, for your use of digital or satellite television in your room for residents aged 75 and over (residents under age 75 will need to pay an annual charge set by TV Licencing to join the shared TV licence). The following extra items and services are not covered by the weekly fees; however, we can arrange for them to be provided (at an additional cost): • Professional hairdressing • Personal copies of newspapers or magazines • Personal purchases such as stationery, confectionary, toiletries etc. • Dry cleaning

contribute to the cost of their own care. Some people have the resources to pay for their care in full, whilst others will make means-tested contributions. The government sets national limits to determine eligibility for funding assistance. The current threshold for self-funding (paying the full cost of your own care) is £23,250. Individuals with assets, including property and savings of £23,250 or above are currently expected to fully fund their own care. This threshold can be subject to change, so it is always advisable to check the figures when choosing a care home. Paying for your own care Those who are able to pay for their own care can contact care homes directly. Once a preferred care home has been identified, the care provider will conduct a needs-based assessment. How much is a weekly private fee? At The Manor House, our weekly private fees are from £1,425. Our fees will vary depending on the type of room and care services required. We can provide you more information on fees and how they are charged.

In the absence of free provision by the NHS, the following may also be provided, and shall be charged in addition to the weekly fees: • Chiropody • Optometry • Dentistry • Physiotherapy • Other privately arranged healthcare • Care staff accompaniment to regular medical appointments No upfront deposit is required at The Manor House to secure a room. If you are approaching a number of care home providers, it is often good to ask if they require a deposit. Requesting funding assistance For those who think they may be eligible for care home funding support or require support with this, the first step is to speak to your local Social Services department or your GP. An assessment of your needs will be undertaken and, if it is determined that you require residential care, a financial assessment will be completed by Social Services. The financial assessment will take into account your income (including pensions and benefits) and capital such as savings, property and investments. All this information will then be used to decide how much you can afford to pay towards care home fees, how much the council will contribute and suggest the most suitable care homes for you to consider.

Care home top-up fees If a person is Local Authority funded (council funded) a third-party top-up fee may be charged. This is a weekly cost covered by a third party, typically a family member. More information At The Manor House we are happy to support you and we can provide more information on our fees and answer any questions you may have about living with us. For more information on funding assistance, including details of the current capital limits, visit Gov.uk, the Government’s public services information website, or speak to your local Social Services department or GP. Further advice and guidance can also be found on the Disability Rights UK website, including a range of free factsheets covering topics such as how to apply for an assessment from social services, care charging and changing legislation.
