Infections can spread where vulnerable individuals share spaces. It’s vital to quickly identify potential infections in residents. Infections acquired in care homes can be serious or life-threatening. The Willows Dementia Hub offers specialised care for people with dementia and support for their carers and families. Our services include residential and respite care, “Willows at Home” specialised home care, and “Comfort Days” bespoke day care.
