What is a Dementia Care Home?

A dementia care home is a specialised care setting designed to support individuals living with dementia, offering a safe and structured environment that caters to their specific needs. Dementia is a progressive condition that affects memory, reasoning, and communication, and as it advances, daily tasks become increasingly difficult. In a dementia care home, residents receive tailored support based on the stage and symptoms of their condition, whether that means help with personal care or round-the-clock supervision.

There are different types of care homes for people with dementia, including residential and nursing care homes. Residential dementia care focuses on support with daily routines such as dressing, washing, and managing medication, while nursing dementia care provides a more clinical level of support for those with complex health needs. The decision between the two depends on the individual’s current situation and future care requirements, with trained staff always on hand to offer compassionate and specialist care.

Supporting Our Residents with Dementia

At White House Care Home, we provide specialist dementia care delivered by a team of trained professionals who understand the condition and the varying levels of support it requires. Our newly refurbished home includes carefully considered spaces designed to create a calm and familiar environment for those living with dementia. Each resident has their own personalised care plan with an en-suite room, which can be customised with treasured belongings to help them feel settled and at home. Families and friends are welcome to visit at any time, and our team works closely with loved ones to ensure continuity of care and familiarity in day-to-day life.

Our approach to dementia care goes beyond clinical needs. We offer engaging activities tailored for dementia residents, aiming to support mental stimulation, social connection and emotional wellbeing. Mealtimes are also thoughtfully designed, with dementia-friendly dining that includes adapted plates, fortified meals where needed, and gentle, respectful support from trained staff. Residents can choose to eat in calm, comfortable surroundings, whether in our bright dining spaces or more private settings. It’s all part of how we promote dignity, comfort and independence, every single day.
