Dedicated Residential Dementia Care at
Sycamore Lodge

At Sycamore Lodge we're family owned and run and passionate about your loved one being cared for just as we would care for our own family

An Important Choice

Moving a family member into care is tremendously challenging, particularly when it involves a permanent change.

You might worry that your loved one could feel neglected in a care setting, or that their specific requirements might not be adequately met. Such concerns are perfectly natural and highlight the importance of selecting the correct care home.

This becomes crucial when your loved one has dementia and is unable to voice their own needs and preferences, placing the responsibility on you to advocate on their behalf.

It’s Hard For Your Loved One Too

In addition to your emotional journey, the adjustment your loved one faces when moving into a care home can be challenging, despite ultimately being beneficial. They might feel unsettled by new environments and unfamiliar people, while concerns about daily routines such as meals, forming new friendships, and maintaining privacy are common.

Whatever thoughts and feelings you and you’re loved one are experiencing, we’re here to help and support you.

Our primary goal is to evaluate your family member's needs considering their life history, personality, habits, lifestyle, emotional well-being, and medical conditions. We offer ample support and assistance tailored to their preferences and thorough risk assessments, ensuring all bases are covered.

Expertise in Dementia Care

Dementia is often an isolating, challenging, and scary condition to navigate. At Sycamore Lodge, we provide a secure setting that fosters both safety and stimulation for our residents.

We pride ourselves on our exceptional dementia care standards, offering essential support to both our residents and their families.

Attention to detail is key, from installing clear signage to simplify navigation to preparing meals that cater to personal preferences. We avoid a one-size-fits-all approach.

A Profoundly Caring Experience

Sycamore Lodge has a wealth of experience in caring for individuals with dementia. We are familiar with various behaviours and have the expertise to respond effectively. We recognise the unique way our residents perceive the world, which is why our care team is carefully selected to ensure empathy, patience, and understanding are at the core of our care.

Our environment is designed to feel more like a true home than a traditional care facility, providing specialised care that encourages independence.

We strive to make the environment as recognisable and comforting as possible, which is crucial in reducing the stress and confusion associated with dementia.

Our dedicated activity coordinators collaborate closely with our care staff to understand and cater to each resident's individual needs. The activities we offer are engaging and diverse, contributing significantly to your loved one’s quality of life.
