Approaching two years since its launch, the Specialist Dementia Care Community (SDCC) at HC-One’s Meadow Bank care home in Preston is delivering remarkable results for people living with complex dementia.
Created to provide a unique, therapeutic approach to support people living with complex dementia, the ‘Sabrina’ community has seen a 90% reduction in distress-related incidents, with 88% of residents showing improvement in their total complexity of need.
This pioneering model, which includes dedicated roles such as Assistant Psychologists and Therapeutic Wellbeing Practitioners, supports residents through person-led care and a calming, homely environment designed to reduce distress and build trust.
Outcomes so far include:
● 60% of residents improved in their primary behaviours of concern
● 25% of residents had a reduced range of concerning behaviours
● A cost-effective model, with fees around 45% lower than 24-hour 1:1 care
The success at Meadow Bank is helping shape the future of specialist dementia care, with a second SDCC now open in Scotland.
