A LLYN nursing home is to get a £200,000 cash injection to help provide support for people living with dementia.
Plas Hafan in Nefyn is the latest Gwynedd Council care home to benefit from a programme of investment so that it can offer improved support for people living with dementia and other conditions associated with getting older.
The investment will enable the council’s care team to work with staff from the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board to care for up to eight people with dementia.
Cllr Gareth Roberts, Gwynedd’s Cabinet member for care, said: “Local people tell us on a regular basis that they want the council and our partners in the health service to develop expert care services for people with conditions like dementia at the heart of our communities and as close as possible to family and friends.
“Whilst collaboration is very high on our agenda, it is important that we remember that our most important partners in modernising our care services are those who use our services.
“I’m therefore extremely pleased that the services being introduced at Plas Hafan, along with those in other parts of the county are a clear response to what local people have told us that they are eager to see put in place.”
