Debunking Myths About Care Homes: Antara’s Approach to Senior Happiness

In this blog, we’ll debunk common myths about Alzheimer's care homes and share how Antara’s approach prioritizes senior happiness, dignity, and well-being.

Myth 1: care homes are depressing and institutional

Reality: Modern Alzheimer's care facilities are designed to feel like home, not hospitals.

At Antara care homes, we’ve created warm, inviting spaces that prioritize comfort and joy. Our facilities feature:

• Homely Living Spaces: Private rooms with personalized decor to reflect each resident’s tastes.
• Beautiful Common Areas: Spacious lounges, gardens, and activity rooms where residents can socialize and relax.
• Vibrant Atmosphere: Regular events, celebrations, and activities that bring life and energy to the community.

At Antara, we believe that a happy environment is the foundation of well-being. Our care homes are designed to feel like a second home, where residents can thrive.

Myth 2: care homes isolate seniors from their families

Reality: care homes encourage family involvement and provide opportunities for meaningful connections.

Families are an integral part of the care journey at Antara care homes. We:

Seniors who maintain strong family connections experience better emotional and mental health. At Antara, we understand the importance of family. Our open-door policy ensures that residents and their loved ones stay connected.

Myth 3: care homes only provide basic medical care

Reality: Modern Alzheimer's care homes offer holistic care that goes beyond medical support.

At Antara care homes, we take a comprehensive approach to care, focusing on:

• Personalised Care Plans: Tailored to each resident’s unique needs, including medical, emotional, and social support.

At Antara, we believe in caring for the whole person - mind, body, and spirit. Our holistic approach ensures that every resident receives the support they need to live a fulfilling life.

Myth 4: care homes are only for seniors with severe health issues

Reality: care homes are for anyone who wants to enjoy a supportive, engaging, and worry-free lifestyle.

Whether your loved one needs minimal assistance or specialised Alzheimer's care facilities, Antara care homes offer a range of services to meet their needs:

• Independent Living: For seniors who want to maintain their independence while enjoying the benefits of community living.
• Assisted Living: For those who need help with daily activities but still want to lead an active life.

Myth 5: care homes are unaffordable

Reality: care homes offer value for money, especially when compared to the costs of in-home care.
