We know that each person’s needs are different, so we take the time to get to know the individual and create a care plan that truly works for them. Our goal is to provide the right level of support to help people live as fully and comfortably as possible.
We work closely with families, friends and healthcare professionals to ensure care is joined up and centred around the person. By focusing on strengths and abilities as well as areas where help is needed, we aim to build confidence and improve quality of life.
What is Korsakoff Syndrome?
Korsakoff Syndrome is a memory disorder often linked to a severe deficiency of vitamin B1 (thiamine), most commonly associated with long-term alcohol misuse, though it can have other causes.
It affects the brain’s ability to store and recall information, which can make everyday life more challenging. People with Korsakoff Syndrome may also have difficulties learning new information and keeping track of time or events.
Although it is a long-term condition, the right care and support can help manage symptoms, maintain routines and make daily living more manageable. Early diagnosis and ongoing support can also reduce the risk of symptoms becoming worse.
Our Approach to Korsakoff Care
Our approach focuses on consistency, reassurance and practical support. We work to create structured daily routines, which can help reduce confusion and make life feel more predictable. Familiar carers, regular patterns and gentle reminders all play an important part in our care.
We also encourage activities that promote mental stimulation and independence, while always providing the safety and support needed. This might include gentle physical activity, hobbies, or tasks that give a sense of achievement and purpose.
Support we provide
We offer a range of support for people with Korsakoff Syndrome, including:
