Redefining the Homecare decision: A proactive and loving choice
Read
As a local care provider dedicated to supporting elderly individuals in their homes, we recognise the importance of collaborating with community organisations that share our commitment to quality care.Â
Meeting the team
We had the pleasure of meeting with Matthew Mint, the Manager of the Dementia Hub, and his passionate team. Their dedication to supporting individuals living with dementia and their carers is evident in every aspect of their work. The Hub serves as a welcoming community space, offering a range of services tailored to the unique needs of each individual.
A warm and welcoming space
The Dementia Hub is more than just a service centre – it’s a warm, friendly space where people feel at home. The atmosphere is uplifting and inclusive, and the environment has been thoughtfully designed with comfort and dignity in mind. One of the highlights is the Hub’s own in-house salon, where individuals can access personal care services such as Indian head massages and nail cutting in a relaxing and respectful setting.
Services and activities at the Dementia Hub
The Dementia Hub provides a comprehensive suite of services designed to support both individuals living with dementia and their carers:
- Cognitive Stimulation Group – Creative activities aimed at engaging the mind, facilitated by the Alzheimer’s Society.
- Intensive Dementia Outreach Service (IDOS) – Offers stimulating activities such as gardening, chair-based exercises, quizzes, music, and games. A home visiting service is also available for those with eligible needs.
- Leyton Dementia Friendly Walks – Gentle-paced walks every Tuesday, providing an opportunity to meet new people and explore the local area.
- Free Indian Head Massage – Fortnightly sessions offering relaxation and stress relief for individuals living with dementia and their carers.
- Foot Care Service – Monthly toenail cutting service provided by Age UK, ensuring essential foot care is accessible.
- Interactive Table and Floor Projector – A unique and engaging tool designed specifically for dementia care. This state-of-the-art technology transforms any surface into a responsive, interactive activity space that stimulates cognitive function and encourages movement, engagement, and joy.
Our commitment
Supporting clients living with dementia is a vital part of what we do at GoodOaks Woodford Green, Loughton and Waltham Forest. We are actively building connections with local dementia support services – like the Dementia Hub in Waltham Forest – so we can better advise our clients and provide care that meets both their emotional and physical needs.
We’re grateful to Matthew and his team for the important work they do, and we look forward to supporting the Dementia Hub’s efforts as we work together to strengthen dementia care in our community.
