If you are viewing a dementia or Alzheimers facility providing a secure environment, enquire about what kinds of activities are provided for the special needs of residents. Staff in these homes should be trained in this specialised area of care. Things you may want to check are:
- The kinds of activities provided for the special needs of residents.
- Whether key relatives or former carers are able to be involved in making or revising care plans
- How challenging behaviours are managed
- Whether there is a written policy on restraint and if so how it is monitored
- Secure areas and the amount of oversight for residents
