“My father has now been at Glenholme for 2 months, moving from another care home setting. He has settled into Glenholme very quickly due to the amazing staff who have cared for him exceptionally well – nothing is ever too much trouble. My da can be a little withdrawn, but since being here, he has been
encouraged to socialise and join in activities which he has thoroughly enjoyed. He is very happy and as a family we are thrilled to see him so.”

“My mother recently spent 2 weeks in respite care at Vera James House. The time was a positive experience for her. She remarked how kind and caring the staff are. The food she said was very good.
I made numerous visits to her, and always found the staff to be friendly, efficient and courteous. All in all, it was a positive experience for our family.”

Frequently asked questions

What exactly is dementia care, and how does it differ from nursing or residential care?

Residential care provides day-to-day support with personal needs such as washing, dressing, meals and social activities, while allowing residents to live as independently as possible in a safe and welcoming environment.

Nursing care is for people who also require regular medical attention or support from qualified nurses.

Dementia care is designed specifically for individuals living with memory loss or cognitive decline, with tailored environments and activities that help them feel safe, supported and engaged.

How do you decide if dementia care is the right option for my loved one?

We always encourage potential residents and their families to visit the home first. Spending time with our team, meeting other residents and even attending one of our event days gives a real sense of what daily life is like.

If you feel our dementia care would be a good fit, our team of specialists will work closely with you to understand your loved one’s needs, preferences and routines. Together, we create a personalised care plan that supports their independence while providing the right level of help and reassurance. This way, families can be confident that the care chosen is not only suitable but truly tailored to the individual.

What staff support is available day and night?

Our team is on hand 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to provide care and support whenever it is needed. Whether it is assistance with daily routines, reassurance during the night or help in an emergency, there is always someone available to ensure residents feel safe and well looked after.

Can residents try a short stay before committing to long-term care?

Yes. Many families find a short stay helpful as it allows their loved one to experience life in the home before making a longer-term decision. It is a gentle way to settle in, meet the team and see if the home feels like the right fit.

Are outings or trips outside the home arranged?

Yes. Most of our homes have a dedicated Activities Manager who works hard to organise a wide range of trips and outings, as well as fun and inclusive activities within the home. Closely monitored individual outings can also be arranged at the resident’s or family’s request.
