Our Dementia Care

At Rubislaw Park Care Home, we are proud to provide dementia care in a bespoke dementia unit in Aberdeen. Our team has received extensive training in getting to grips with all elements of dementia and on the first floor of our care home in Aberdeenshire, we provide dementia care in a safe, caring and welcoming setting for older people.

Our care home staff and Activity Coordinators can work with individuals with dementia to provide a variety of activities and alternative therapies to find activities that are appropriate and that support their specific needs. Alongside our dementia unit lead and team of care assistants, we have a nurse on-site who specialises in dementia care, someone who provides medical, practical and emotional support to both residents and their families.

What is Dementia Care?

Dementia can impact memory, communication, and mobility in many ways, but with the right care and understanding, those living with dementia can continue to lead fulfilling lives. At Rubislaw Park in Aberdeen, we provide specialised dementia care that recognises the individuality of each resident, understanding that needs vary greatly from person to person.

Our person-centred approach ensures that whether a resident requires minimal support or more advanced assistance, we are here to meet them where they are. Our dedicated goal is to empower each resident to maintain their independence and sense of belonging, creating an environment where they feel valued, safe, and truly at home.
