Dementia Care
We are proud to offer specialist Dementia Care at Amberley Care Home; providing a safe, caring, and welcoming setting for those living with memory loss. Our home is designed to provide a secure, caring and friendly environment for those with Dementia and their loved ones.

What does Dementia Care mean?
At Amberley Care Home we understand that no two people are the same; some individuals may only require minor support, while others rely on around-the-clock care. Our person centered approach to care is designed to develop a sense of individuality and encourage each and every one of our residents’ to continue exercising their strengths and skill sets. We actively support residents to develop their skills to encourage independence for as long as possible.
Dementia Care can often only focus on the illness and accompanying loss of function rather than the person themselves. Our experience has shown us that those living with dementia respond far better when their care promotes their independence and in turn allows them to live each day with dignity and respect.
Our Dementia Care teams are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, providing personal and social care, as well as offering support that provides comfort and positive engagement for people with dementia.

At Amberley Care Home we offer a range of facilities to help our residents live independently, in an environment that is comfortable and stimulating for them.
