Namaste
‘Namaste’ is an Indian greeting which means ‘to honour the spirit within’. The care is multi-dimensional, including physical, sensory and emotional elements. The Namaste care approach is about seeing the ‘ME’ in deMEntia. Good dementia care involves loving-kindness. It is about the person living with dementia keeping their identity, being understood as a person and for them to feel loved, valued and part of our family. The two basic principles of Namaste Care are creating a calm environment and providing all activities and interactions with an unhurried, loving touch approach. These two principles are included in both the group and individual programmes. Namaste Care is to give comfort and pleasure to people with advanced dementia through sensory stimulation, which provides quality of life until the end of life. The programme incorporates stimulation of the five senses (touch, hearing, sight, smell, and taste). Families and loved ones are welcome to join us for our Namaste sessions. Please speak with one of the Activities Team members for more information.
