Dementia Care

Woodlands Care Home proudly offers exceptional Dementia Care for older people in Aberdeen. Our purpose-built care home has been designed specifically with dementia residents in mind; a place that provides a safe, caring and welcoming atmosphere. Our professional Dementia Care Team has undergone thorough, specialised training in dealing with all aspects and levels of memory loss. This extensive training ensures that every resident is treated with unrivalled care and respect and receives the correct personal care for their needs.

Our care home Well-being Coordinators go above and beyond, collaborating with dementia residents and their loved ones to identify activities that are appropriate for their individual needs and to help them thrive in daily life. Experience has shown us that through daily planned activities in a home environment, social and mental stimulation and interaction are improved, as well as the easing of frustrations and tensions associated with dementia.

What is Dementia Care?

Dementia is a condition that affects various mental capabilities, including speech, memory and critical thinking. Experience has shown that with the correct care and support, people living with dementia can continue to live their lives to the fullest. We strive to identify the unique needs of each resident delivering quality care that encourages a sense of self and independence for as long as possible. No two people with dementia are alike and although some may only require modest assistance in managing their everyday lives, others may require much more. Dementia care can be provided from the early stages all the way through to palliative care.
