About Acacia Care (Burton)
Acacia Care in Burton on Trent is a residential care home for older people, including people living with dementia and people with a physical disability. We also offer respite stays for those who need care for a few weeks. We run the home the way a household runs. People get up when they wake, eat what they enjoy, sit where they choose and keep the habits of a lifetime. Help with washing, dressing, medication and getting about is given as and when it is needed, quietly, and without anybody feeling they have been taken over. Good dementia care depends on knowing the person rather than on any particular technique. Our team learns each resident's history, their family and the things that reassure them, and we keep the surroundings calm and familiar. Where somebody is agitated or anxious, we look for what is behind it. For residents with a physical disability, we make sure that help with mobility is given in the way the person prefers, and that the home does not become a set of obstacles. Families are welcome here and we keep in touch with them properly, not only when something has gone wrong. If you are looking at residential care in or around Burton on Trent, please arrange to visit and take your time over the decision.
