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 dementia 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 and who provides medical, practical and emotional support to both residents and their families.

What is Dementia Care?

At our purpose built care home, we provide dedicated dementia care to older people in Aberdeen and the surrounding area. We have experienced staff working around-the-clock to give as much support as our residents require. We appreciate each and every one of our residents’ strengths and skill sets, and we actively encourage them to use them as much as possible and maintain their independence. When it comes to our dementia care, the level of personalised care and support provided to each of our residents is individually tailored to meet their particular needs.

The level of help required by some will be fairly modest, while the amount of assistance required by others will be much higher. It is entirely dependent on the individual. Our dementia care teams are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. As well as providing dementia support, they also assist with personal care, social care, and overall wellbeing, providing comfort and positive engagement for people living with dementia.

Specialised Dementia Care at Rubislaw Park

At Rubislaw Park Care Home, we’re teaching our teams the most up-to-date dementia research and techniques. Having these expert skills will enable our staff to deliver high-quality dementia care from the early stages through to the advanced stages. From creating engaging activities to supporting dementia residents during mealtimes; we strive to make our rooms feel homely with assistance available at all hours of the day and night. We employ zero agency staff. This means our staff gets to know a person’s routine and provides a sense of familiarity among residents.

We are proud to have our own sensory room, designed to create a tranquil and therapeutic setting that fosters relaxation and reduce stress and distress, which is common for those living with Dementia. With its calming lights, comfortable seating, and soothing sounds, the sensory room cultivates a calm ambiance. We provide a tailored therapy session for each individual, which helps to promote cognition and ability and has proven to be effective among our dementia residents.

The way our care home dementia unit has been decorated has been heavily influenced by our residents who are living with dementia. We recognise that when people have dementia, the way in which they view their world might be drastically different to how we view ours. Therefore, everything that makes up our residents’ living environment is evaluated. From coloured bedroom doors and name plagues to using lots of natural lighting and signage, every design choice is made to ensure that we create a safe and homely environment at our care home in aberdeen. Residents are also encouraged to go out on day trips into the local community.

When Should Someone With Dementia Go Into a Care Home?

Choosing to look into care homes for yourself or a loved one is a significant step that should not be taken lightly. We recognise that this is a challenging time to navigate, and that knowing where to turn or who to turn to can be tough. At Rubislaw Park Care Home, we can offer expert advice and guidance to our existing residents, future residents, and their friends and family, as well as supporting them in determining the best course of action. We are proud to offer a continuum of care at our Aberdeen care home, from early-stage dementia diagnosis through to the advanced stages, we can provide nursing care and palliative care to ensure residents receive effective care as and when their needs change.

Our care home staff have been committed to helping our residents through whatever difficulties life has brought since we first opened.

Rubislaw Park is proud to be regulated by the Care Inspectorate. The Care Inspectorate is a governing body that assesses all care homes and nursing homes in Scotland to ensure they meet a high standard.
