Who We Support at The Aldbury

At The Aldbury, we support people living with dementia at every stage of their journey, from early signs of memory loss to more complex care needs. Our home is dedicated entirely to dementia, and everything we do is grounded in understanding, expertise, and continuity of care.

For families, choosing dementia care can be one of the hardest decisions to make. What matters most is knowing your loved one will be safe, supported, and truly known. That’s exactly what we offer , a calm, purpose-built setting and a team who understands the nuances of dementia care, day in and day out.

Supporting Individuals with Different Types of Dementia

We care for individuals living with a wide range of dementia diagnoses, including:

  • Alzheimer’s disease
  • Vascular dementia
  • Lewy body dementia
  • Frontotemporal dementia

No two journeys are the same. That’s why we create personalised care plans built around  routines, preferences, and the things that continue to bring individuals comfort and joy. Families are closely involved, with regular updates, reassurance, and a team who listens.

When Care at Home Becomes Challenging

When Care at Home Becomes Too Much

As dementia progresses, everyday life can become harder to manage, and increasingly unsafe. Concerns like wandering, missed medication, or agitation can place enormous strain on family life. At The Aldbury, we offer 24-hour, nurse-led care in a secure, dementia-focused environment. Our role is to protect the person’s dignity and wellbeing while giving families peace of mind that their loved one is in expert, compassionate hands.

Support for Family Carers

Caring for someone with dementia at home can be overwhelming. Whether you’re managing full-time care or simply need a short break, we offer specialist respite stays tailored to each individual. These stays are more than a pause, they’re a chance to experience life at The Aldbury. Many families find it’s a helpful first step toward longer-term care, with no pressure and a warm welcome from our consistent team.
