Care types

In our state-of-the-art home with its purpose-built spaces, your loved one living with dementia will be well provided for in every way. They can continue to exercise choice over how they spend their time, and with so many options they’ll always be able to find plenty to do and friends to be made. We’ll treat them to live entertainment and events, as well as stimulating activities such as music, art and reminiscence. We will support them to dine with dignity, helping them to retain a sense of independence. 

They’ll be free to bring familiar belongings to help them feel at home in their comfortable private room. You can have complete peace of mind knowing that your loved one will never be far away from a supportive team member, day or night. 

Our skilled team sees the person behind the dementia, understanding what brings a resident joy, so that each day is filled with meaningful experiences.

Our experienced nursing team is highly trained and are able to provide care for a number of physical conditions such as multiple sclerosis and stroke, as well as Motor Neurone Disease and Parkinson’s Disease. Our team will produce a comprehensive plan based around your loved one’s exact needs and abilities and this will become the central reference point, for the team as well as GPs and specialist medical professionals if required.

We believe that the best care is tailored care. When your loved one joins us, we work with them and you to learn all about their life history, likes and dislikes. We then put together care and lifestyle plans that are tailored to their individual needs and interests. Community and companionship can be found in our sunny day room, where a cup of tea and a friendly chat are always on offer. Residents can also explore our well-stocked library of books and films to find personal entertainment. We also provide a full roster of events and entertainment, with artistic activities like art and music to promote emotional wellbeing. 

With their own room decorated and furnished to their own preferences, they’ll always have a private sanctuary when they want it. We’ll keep it spick and span as well as looking after their laundry and helping with bathing and dressing if necessary so they can look and feel their best. They’ll never be far away from an experienced team member ready to offer support at any time they need it, for any reason.

Our team provides nursing care to residents who are living with dementia. We have qualified clinical colleagues on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week and we work closely with GPs and other healthcare professionals in the local community. So if your loved one has additional physical needs, from multiple sclerosis to stroke or a brain injury, in addition to a dementia diagnosis, our experienced clinical team is on hand to give them first class, tailored care.

Looking after an older person at home can be exhausting physically and mentally, so Dashwood Manor offers expert short-term respite care. This allows you to relax and recharge, knowing your loved one is safe and comfortable. A change of scene is often enjoyed by everyone.  We also provide respite care when someone needs a little extra care in between leaving hospital and returning home.

When your loved one reaches the end of their life, let our empathetic team support them, you and your family, through this emotional time. We enlist the help of GPs and clinical specialists to create a bespoke plan that fulfils your loved one’s every requirement. We will ensure dignity and comfort for your loved one’s final days and hours.
