Dementia Care

At Mearns View Care Home, we understand the unique challenges that come with living with dementia, both for individuals and their families. Our dementia care is tailored to provide compassionate, person-centred support in a safe, nurturing, and understanding environment. We focus on helping residents maintain their independence and dignity while providing the specialist care they need to feel secure and valued.

With thoughtfully designed spaces and experienced carers trained in dementia care, Mearns View is a place where residents can thrive. Our approach goes beyond meeting physical needs – we take the time to truly understand each resident’s life story, preferences, and personality, creating an environment where they feel recognised and at home. Through meaningful activities, stimulating therapies, and a warm, inclusive community, we aim to enhance quality of life for every resident, while providing peace of mind for their loved ones.

What is Dementia Care?

Dementia is a long-term condition that impacts an older person’s mental capabilities in a variety of ways, including difficulties with speech, memory loss and cognitive skills.

Those living with dementia can continue to live a high-quality life with the right care and attention, where they can participate in their favourite activities. Our goal is for residents to preserve their sense of self and independence for as long as possible.

We work with residents and their families to understand their routines, interests, and preferences which we then incorporate into a care plan. We can help you decide when the right time to move to a care home is, and strive to help residents maintain their independence and dignity whilst offering support.

Our dementia care team undergoes regular training to ensure that the team has a wide range of understanding in accordance with the many stages of the dementia journey.
