Personalised Dementia Care Planning
At The Aldbury, no two care plans are the same, because no two people are. We take time to understand each resident’s story, routines, and what brings them comfort, working closely with families to ensure care feels personal from day one.
Whether support is needed with daily living, medication, or more complex health needs, our experienced team adapts care with consistency and quiet compassion. Each plan is reviewed regularly and shaped around what matters most to the individual, so they can feel secure, respected, and understood.
Respecting the Whole Story
Dementia care at The Aldbury starts with truly knowing the person, not just their current needs, but the life they’ve lived and the people they hold dear. Every resident has a personalised “This Is Me” profile, capturing the memories, routines, and details that bring comfort and connection.
By working closely with families, we ensure daily care reflects both the past and present, from recognising a familiar song to honouring a long-held morning ritual. It’s this thoughtful understanding that helps residents feel calm, valued, and truly seen.
A Setting That Supports Everyday Living
Our home has been purposefully designed for people living with dementia, with clear signage, gentle lighting, and familiar layouts that reduce anxiety and support independent movement.
Discreet handrails, calm communal areas, and safe, accessible gardens invite residents to move freely and maintain familiar routines. It’s a setting that helps people feel at ease, offering dignity, stability, and space to enjoy daily life with confidence.
“So glad my mum is at the Aldbury. Her dementia is advanced and so her capacity is limited but the staff make a real effort to bring joy to her life, to understand her and communicate with her..” – J D, daughter of resident at The Aldbury
Relationships That Build Confidence
At The Aldbury, we know how much consistency matters. With a long-standing team and minimal use of agency staff, the people your loved one sees each day are familiar, trusted, and truly invested in their wellbeing.
Our carers and nurses take time to build genuine connections, learning how each person likes their tea, noticing small changes in mood, and offering reassurance just when it’s needed. These relationships create a calm, stable foundation for care that feels safe, intuitive, and quietly supportive.
Welcoming Families and Friends
Family connections play a crucial role in dementia care. At The Aldbury, families and friends are always warmly welcomed. With no restricted visiting hours, and both children and pets encouraged to visit, we maintain a genuine homely atmosphere.
Families can join residents for meals, participate in activities, and even arrange private dining for special celebrations. Our team is always receptive to family suggestions, ensuring the home remains a place filled with joy, meaningful connections, and shared experiences.
