Caring for a loved one living with dementia is an act of profound love, but it is also one of the most demanding challenges a family can face. We know that as a carer, your work never truly ends. You may be part of the "sandwich generation" - trying to balance the needs of your aging parent with looking after your own children, maintaining a career, and trying to find a moment for yourself.
At Sai Care Homes, serving communities across East Kent, we are here to bridge that gap. Whether you are looking for full-time placement in a residential home or simply need reliable day or respite care so you can take a much-needed break, we provide the environment your loved one needs and the peace of mind you deserve.
At Sai Care Homes, we believe that a dementia diagnosis should never define a person. We know that behind the memory loss and the confusion, your loved one is still the same person they have always been - with the same history, likes, dislikes, and personality.
Our approach is strictly person-centred. We don't believe in a "one size fits all" approach to dementia. Instead, our team takes the time to build a complete picture of the individual. We learn about their past career, their favourite music, their morning routines, and what makes them smile. This allows us to look beyond the disorientation and connect with the unique individual within.
The guilt associated with seeking help is real, but it is unnecessary. You cannot pour from an empty cup. Our services are designed to alleviate the pressure on you.
By utilizing our day care or respite services in Kent, you can take the time to run errands, focus on your children, or simply relax, safe in the knowledge that your loved one is not just "being watched," but is actively being cared for. They will be engaging in social interaction, enjoying nutritious meals, and participating in activities, which is often far more beneficial for them than sitting alone at home while you try to juggle a dozen other tasks.
We understand the anxiety that comes with reading news headlines about the care sector. That is why safety and training are the cornerstones of our culture.
Our homes are staffed by professionals who are specially trained in dementia care. They understand the complex behaviours associated with the condition and are skilled in de-escalation, comfort, and communication. We work closely with external healthcare professionals to ensure that as your loved one’s needs change, our care adapts with them.
We create vibrant, supportive environments where structured activities and gentle routines help promote independence. From memory lanes to sensory activities, we ensure daily joy is part of the prescription.
Moving a loved one into a care home or starting day care is a big financial and emotional decision. Many families worry about the costs and the complexities of funding. Our team is here to help guide you through these conversations, ensuring you understand your options and the value of the care provided.
Your dream outcome - a life where you can be a daughter, son, or partner again, rather than just a carer - is possible.
Let us provide the specialist support your loved one needs, so you can get back to being you.
