Chelsea Court Place, the UK’s first premium memory care residence with 24-hour nursing and memory day club, purpose-built and designed for residents with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, has opened in London. It has been designed to the highest standard, complying with the needs of memory care patients at every level to promote independence for as long as possible.
Launched by Innovative Aged Care, Chelsea Court Place is a self-contained luxury community that emulates the modern, elegant design of a private member’s club and caters to the unique needs of memory care residents. Chelsea Court Place Chairman, Laurence Geller CBE, has applied his extensive experience as a multinational hotelier into the framework of the boutique care home, intending to raise the standards and approach to dementia care.
The club fuses cutting edge dementia-friendly interior design with state of the art technology, delivering an innovative sanctuary designed to support and extend the quality of life for its members. Most importantly it offers bespoke curated 24-hour nursing care, practised by a team of leading dementia-trained professionals.
Chelsea Court Place has 15 premium ensuite apartments, which can be personally customised with the help of the residence’s interior designer. The site also features a 48 cover restaurant and private dining room, available for residents and their families to use for dinner parties and celebrations. Additional features include a 24 hour café, cinema and library, spa and beauty salon, sensory and treatment room and indoor garden, which will provide a retreat for socialisation and stimulation. Strong importance is placed on social, physical and mental stimulation, with pet therapy, cooking, craft sessions, gardening, music and innovative daily exercise including chair Zumba and yoga on the daily programme.
Person Centred Software is used to track resident progress and provide precise information about the individual throughout the day. Dementia Care Mapping, a specialised, innovative observational, technique will be employed by the team. This gives a complete understanding of the specific care needs (and reasoning) as seen through the eyes of the individual.
Chelsea Court Place will champion research innovation with its partnership with the University of West London, spearheading new attitudes to bespoke dementia care, tailored medication and individual analysis.
'Every level of attention to detail has been taken to deliver a safe, tranquil and nurturing environment that is supportive to the unique needs of our residents,' said James Cook, Managing Director of Chelsea Court Place. 'We are passionate about pioneering the latest research, techniques and technology in our approach to care.’
