Dementia Care

Our beautiful, enriching dementia care home in Lennoxtown was founded on the belief that each resident should be given every opportunity to live an independent life in a supportive, caring environment. For those who have higher care needs, such as Dementia, we aim to ensure residents are able to make the most of their day by providing the right amount of support where necessary.

The Heather Unit is a dedicated dementia care unit consisting of 20 beds. Our dementia care unit has its own facilities such as a sunroom, balconies, sensory room and multiple dining areas. Our dedicated dementia care team receives regular training including stress and distress training to help ease the frustrations and tensions associated with dementia. Through a combination of skilled medical care, daily planned activities, social and mental stimulation, and constant engagement and support, we endeavour to provide a high quality of life no matter a person’s physical ability or mental capacity.

What is Dementia Care?

Dementia is a condition that affects mental functionality in various ways, often leading to challenges with speech and memory loss in older individuals. However, with the appropriate support and care, those living with dementia can continue to lead meaningful and fulfilling lives.

In our dementia care home in Lennoxtown, we understand that each person’s journey with dementia is unique. Some may require minimal assistance, while others need more comprehensive care. When we provide care for our residents, our person-centered approach is designed to assist them in maintaining their independence and preserving their sense of self for as long as possible. We tailor our care to the specific needs of each individual, recognizing the importance of their individuality and well-being.
