In September 2011 we opened a purpose-built state-of-the-art dementia unit containing specialist design features. Research has shown that the built environment has a huge impact on the quality of life for dementia sufferers. Our new wing includes a reminiscence kitchen on each floor, extensive common areas for relaxation and activities and suitable colours/design features to encourage independence and reduced anxiety.

We are also committed to a person centred model of care and have commenced a major training programme with the acclaimed Dementia Department of Bradford University to ensure that all of our staff have been trained in the very latest thinking in person centred care.
