Understanding familiar names, routines, music, food, culture, faith and personal history helps support feel respectful.
Dementia care
Support that protects identity, routine and dignity.
Dementia care should be patient, observant and person-centred. Hennikon focuses on familiar routines, calm communication, family input and safer daily living.
How dementia support is shaped
Small details can make care feel safer.
Changes in behaviour may express pain, fear, confusion or unmet need. Staff need patience and curiosity.
Support should consider falls, nutrition, medication prompts, wandering risks, night-time routines and family contact.
Family involvement
Families hold knowledge that improves care.
Hennikon encourages families to share what calms, motivates, worries and reassures the person. Good dementia support should never reduce the person to a diagnosis.
- Calm introductions and familiar routines.
- Clear communication and fewer rushed transitions.
- Observation of mood, appetite and sleep changes.
- Escalation when risks or distress increase.
