Our aim is to create a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment where individuals living with dementia can feel valued, respected, and understood. With dedicated staff and thoughtfully designed surroundings, we help residents maintain independence wherever possible while ensuring comfort and peace of mind for both them and their families.

Personalised Support and Understanding

Every resident living with dementia has their own story, routines, and preferences, and at Cedars Care Home we take the time to understand each individual. Our approach to care is centred on getting to know residents and their families, ensuring support is delivered in a way that feels familiar, reassuring, and dignified. This personalised approach allows us to provide care that goes beyond physical needs, focusing on emotional wellbeing and quality of life.

Our dedicated team is trained in dementia care and uses patience, empathy, and consistency to help residents feel secure and valued. From assistance with daily activities to providing comfort during moments of confusion, we work hard to create a safe and positive environment. Families are also supported throughout the journey, giving peace of mind that their loved one is in caring and capable hands.

Dementia Care FAQs

Before a resident moves into Cedars Care Home, we meet with them and their loved ones to fully understand their routines, interests, and preferences. This helps us create a personalised care plan that respects independence while offering the right level of support.

All members of our care team receive specialist dementia training, including communication techniques, understanding behaviours, and creating positive daily experiences. This ensures our staff provide sensitive, effective, and compassionate care.

We offer dementia-friendly activities such as reminiscence therapy, music, arts and crafts, and gentle exercise. These activities are designed to reduce anxiety, encourage engagement, and help residents enjoy a sense of purpose and joy.

At Cedars Care Home, we require a 28-day notice period for residents receiving long-term dementia care who wish to move out. Our team is here to guide families through this transition with care and understanding.
