Homely, safe & reassuring

The Aldbury is our residents’ home. Its design plays an important role in providing high-quality care for our residents living with dementia by creating a more comfortable and familiar environment, which can improve mood and connection and have a positive impact on overall wellbeing.

DEMENTIA FRIENDLY BY DESIGN

We designed and built The Aldbury specifically for residents living with dementia. Our approach centres on creating familiar, comfortable and personalised environments that positively impact residents’ overall health and wellbeing. This is reflected in our thoughtfully designed living spaces, themed areas and gardens.

Reminiscent & Stimulating

Our themed areas are a useful tool for reminiscence therapy. By using familiar objects, music, or other sensory stimuli, our residents can be stimulated to recall memories and facilitate conversations. This can help to improve their mood, promote familiarity and connectedness, and enhance their overall quality of life.

Routine & Familiarity

Our home has been designed with areas that promote routine and familiarity, creating a stable environment that can reduce feelings of anxiety and confusion.

Home Layout

The layout of our home helps alleviate feelings of confusion and disorientation in residents by providing a space that is more recognisable and familiar. The design is inviting, helping residents feel more at home.

Safety & Security

We understand that safety, security, and comfort are top priorities for our residents and their loved ones. We provide a safe and secure environment that still feels like home, ensuring that residents are always protected and cared for without losing independence.

Your Home

We’re delighted to provide an overview of the first-class facilities you’ll find at The Aldbury, but the best way to get a feel for what resident life is all about is to book a tour of the home and see for yourself what makes us special.
