We understand that dementia affects everyone differently, which is why our compassionate team is trained to offer personalised support that focuses on comfort, dignity, and maintaining independence for as long as possible.

Our home offers a continuum of care through our specialist dementia community, ensuring that residents receive the right level of support at every stage of their journey. Whether someone is in the early stages of dementia and requires gentle assistance or needs more advanced care, our team adapts to their changing needs, providing reassurance to both residents and their families. Our dedicated dementia unit provides familiar surroundings, meaningful activities, and a reassuring routine, helping residents feel at home while continuing to engage with daily life in a way that suits them.

Understanding Dementia Care

Dementia affects everyone differently, which is why a flexible, person-centred approach is so important. At Ashlea Court, we take the time to understand each resident as an individual, learning about their life and personal preferences so we can create a care plan that suits them. Our dementia care focuses on creating a calm and structured environment, reducing feelings of anxiety and confusion.

To promote wellbeing and engagement, we offer a variety of activities and therapies tailored to support memory and cognitive function. Residents take part in reminiscence sessions, music therapy, and sensory activities, all designed to provide comfort and meaningful interaction. Our dementia-trained staff are always on hand to offer gentle reassurance and emotional support, ensuring that each resident feels safe and understood. We also recognise the importance of familiar routines and daily structure, which is why we work closely with residents to establish patterns that bring them comfort and a sense of stability.

Families play an essential role in dementia care, and we are here to support them too. We offer guidance and regular updates, helping loved ones navigate the challenges of dementia with confidence.
