At Hatherleigh Care Village we are more than just a care provider, we are a community committed to providing compassionate care that supports a meaningful continuation of life for individuals living with a Dementia.
Our approach is rooted in the principles established by Thomas Kitwood, placing each individual at the heart of everything we do. We are guided by the five core emotional needs identified by Kitwood “comfort, attachment, inclusion, occupation, identity” ensuring that every person experiences the human qualities essential for both emotional and physical well-being.
We create homely households/environments that feel familiar and comforting, where those we support are known as Family Members. This reflects the respect and warmth at the heart of our commitment to truly seeing the person, not the diagnosis. Every aspect of daily life is tailored to understand each Family Member’s history, identity and individuality.
Our approach doesn’t focus solely on the clinical aspects of Dementia, it embraces the whole person. Through meaningful connection, activity and a nurturing environment, we support well-being in all its forms. Comfort, belonging, inclusion and purpose are central to life Hatherleigh Care Village where every day is an opportunity to live with choice, independence and dignity.
At Hatherleigh Care Village we are committed to protecting your personal data and handling it responsibly. Our Privacy Statement for Relatives, Friends and Stakeholders of Family Members explains how we collect and manage your data.
