Dementia care

BlueWave

Living’s

philosophy

in providing dementia care is to

concentrate on the resident’s strengths

and remaining abilities. Staff are

trained to maintain a positive attitude

and provide care in a cheerful manner

that encourages the person afflicted

with dementia.

There are secure dementia units

in both the High Care and Low Care

areas of the facility. Specially designed

recreational activities are conducted for

the residents of the dementia section.

Renovation activity

In the recent past, BlueWave Living

has seen a fair amount of renovation

activity. A new high-care wing has

been built and the front of the facility’s

building has been refurbished. A large

Blue Wave awning which runs from the

front of the building all the way to the

street has been completed.

Currently, the high-care dementia unit

is in the process of being upgraded. It is

getting new flooring and furniture. The

wardrobes, curtains and paintings are

also being changed to give the entire

section a new look.

Vendors and suppliers

BlueWave Living has established strong

relationships with its suppliers. Many of

them have been associated with the
