What is Dementia?

Dementia is a syndrome or group of symptoms caused by brain deterioration that affects thinking, behaviour and the ability to perform everyday activities. There are many different forms of dementia, and each has its own causes.

Dementia is an umbrella term that covers four main types: Alzheimer’s, vascular dementia, Lewy bodies and Fronto Temporal Lobar Degeneration (FTLD).

Our team works closely with families and medical teams to ensure that the transition to our Memory Support Unit is as smooth as possible, maintaining open communication throughout the resident’s stay with us.

Stimulating Activities for Cognitive and Physical Health

Residents in our Memory Support Unit participate in a wide range of activities designed to stimulate their minds, engage their senses and maintain physical well-being. Our activity program is carefully crafted to cater to various interests and abilities, ensuring that each resident finds enjoyment and purpose in their daily life.

Brain Training Technology

We utilise advanced brain training technology, including touch-screen computers with programs specifically designed for cognitive stimulation. These interactive games, similar to find-a-word puzzles or object matching, help maintain cognitive function and stimulate short-term memory. The system adapts to each resident’s abilities, ensuring a positive and rewarding experience even if residents run out of chances.

Our secure Memory Support Unit features a private garden where residents can safely enjoy outdoor activities, fresh air and natural surroundings. This space is used for gardening activities, gentle exercise or simply relaxing in a serene environment.

By promoting inclusivity, we aim to reduce stigma, maintain social connections and enrich the lives of all our residents.

What Families Say About Us

“What is the point of being alive if you don’t at least try to do something remarkable? My family were very apprehensive about mum moving into care but knew it was inevitable. We chose Georges Estate initially because the facility was new, it was modern and the social media indicated that it was a place where the residents enjoyed being. After 3 months we are so happy that we chose Georges Estate because it is all of those things and more. ...”

"My father Maki had a wonderful quality of life at Georges Estate, his home. From the first day he started to have so much fun...He loved all the staff, enjoyed all the activities like painting, pet therapy, bus scenic drives, dancing, live concerts – always clapping away, smiling and lots of laughter. He loved sitting near the beautiful fire place in winter and enjoyed the garden on beautiful sunny days...He was loved so much by all the staff and cared for like a family member..."

“From the moment we walked into Georges Estate and met Kyla, we knew this was the place where we wanted Margaret to call home. After doing the tour & discussing our options, we said to each other, “the facilities, décor & services are amazing, we just hope the level of care matches this, as the care is the most important part”. Well that certainly was the case, the care mum received during her time at Georges Estate well exceeded our expectations. The kind caring nature of the staff was more than we could have every asked for...”
