Living with dementia brings its own set of challenges, not just for the individual, but for their loved ones too. At Astral Lodge, we offer thoughtful, tailored dementia care that focuses on each resident’s unique personality, preferences, and life story. Our home provides a reassuring setting where routines are respected, independence is encouraged, and support is given with genuine compassion.
Our carers are specially trained to support residents living with various stages of dementia. They take the time to get to know each person and work closely with families to ensure the care is not only appropriate but also meaningful and consistent. We aim to provide a sense of purpose, belonging, and familiarity, every single day.
Our dementia care is built around the idea that everyone deserves to live with dignity, comfort, and respect. We provide a secure, structured environment where residents feel safe, supported, and free to express themselves.
We understand that routines and surroundings play a big part in helping residents feel calm and confident. That’s why we’ve created a setting that’s both welcoming and designed with dementia in mind, from clearly signposted spaces to personalised bedrooms filled with familiar belongings and photographs.
Daily life is filled with gentle encouragement and thoughtful engagement. From music and reminiscence sessions to light gardening, arts and crafts, and sensory activities, we help residents stay connected to who they are and what brings them joy. There is no pressure to take part, only opportunities to join in when it feels right.
Mealtimes are a calm and sociable part of the day, with home-cooked meals prepared on-site and tailored to individual tastes. Carers offer quiet encouragement and assistance when needed, ensuring everyone enjoys their food in comfort and dignity.
Family members are always welcome. We believe in open communication and partnership, working closely with loved ones to create a continuity of care that brings reassurance to all.
We know that dementia affects everyone differently. That’s why we avoid one-size-fits-all approaches. Instead, each resident has their own care plan based on their personality, history, and preferences — helping them feel seen, heard, and valued. Our carers use calm, consistent routines and compassionate communication techniques to ease anxiety, reduce confusion, and promote emotional wellbeing.
“I was amazed at how well the carers connected with my dad. They remembered all the little details about his life — his favourite singer, his love of steam trains. It really helped him stay grounded and made such a difference to his mood.” – Mark S., Son of Resident
“The change in Mum since moving in has been incredible. She’s happier, less anxious, and finally sleeping through the night. The care is outstanding — we can all breathe a little easier now.” – Helen R., Daughter of Resident
Dementia can be a difficult journey, but you don’t have to go through it alone. Our team is here to provide expert support in a warm, understanding environment — not only for residents but for their families too. We take the time to listen, guide, and reassure, giving families confidence that their loved one is safe and truly cared for.
Many relatives tell us they feel relief just knowing their loved one is surrounded by kind, familiar faces, people who understand dementia and treat each resident with patience, humour, and heartfelt respect.
At Astral Lodge, we understand the importance of good nutrition for the health and well-being of our residents.
