Dementia Care
From Northcare
A Supportive, Inclusive Environment
At Northcare, we are dedicated to providing safe, supportive, and welcoming homes for individuals living with dementia. We understand that dementia affects everyone differently, and our role is to provide care that is not only professional but also compassionate and personal—helping families take the next step with confidence and reassurance.
Our care homes across Glasgow, Edinburgh, Stirling, and South Lanarkshire are thoughtfully designed to support residents living with dementia. We create calm and inclusive spaces that encourage social interaction, independence, and movement. Clear signage and familiar layouts help residents navigate with ease, while our beautiful secure gardens allow safe access to the outdoors, recognising the importance of fresh air and time in nature.
Person-Centred Care
Every individual has their own story, preferences, and abilities, and our dementia care reflects this. We focus on what each resident can do, tailoring daily routines and activities to their unique needs so they can continue enjoying meaningful moments and experiences.
Our goal is to maintain as much independence as possible, with support always available when needed. From assistance with personal care to gentle encouragement during activities, our team is there every step of the way.
Mealtimes That Empower Choice
We know that mealtimes are about more than just nutrition—they are about comfort, choice, and dignity. We use visual options to make decisions easier, provide adapted equipment for those who need it, and ensure a warm, supportive atmosphere at the table. For those requiring help, our team offers respectful and attentive support.
Professional and Compassionate Support
Our dedicated care teams are trained in dementia care and available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We also work closely with families and healthcare professionals to ensure the right support is in place. Where decision-making capacity may be reduced, we take time to involve loved ones in the process, always respecting the dignity and rights of the individual.
Understanding Dementia Care
Dementia is a progressive condition that can impact memory, thinking, and behaviour. While there is currently no cure, the right care and support can make a significant difference to quality of life.
What Dementia Care Involves
Dementia care at Northcare goes beyond medical support, it is about treating the whole person. This includes:
• Medical support – managing health conditions that may affect dementia.
• Emotional support – helping with anxiety, mood changes, and behavioural needs.
• Rehabilitation – encouraging participation in activities that promote independence.
• Family support – offering guidance, reassurance, and respite for loved ones.
The Person-Centred Approach
We believe dementia care should always be person-centred. This means:
• Knowing the individual—their history, hobbies, and values.
• Communicating in ways that are clear and respectful.
• Creating familiar, safe, and supportive environments.
• Promoting independence wherever possible.
• Respecting individual choices and dignity.
Embracing Innovation
We also embrace the use of supportive technology where helpful, such as memory prompts, communication aids, and discreet monitoring systems, always with the aim of supporting independence and safety.
The Importance of Early Diagnosis
An early diagnosis of dementia allows individuals and families to better plan for the future and access the right care at the right time. At Northcare, we work with residents and their families to ensure that care adapts as needs change.
