Compassionate dementia care at Glenburnie
Date of news/blog: 10th July 2025Caring for a loved one with dementia presents unique challenges, both emotionally and practically. At Glenburnie Lodge, we understand how important compassionate dementia care is during this journey. That’s why our dementia care services are designed not only to meet the complex needs of those living with dementia but also to offer comfort and reassurance to their families.
Specialised dementia care tailored to individual needs
Dementia affects everyone differently, so a one-size-fits-all approach simply doesn’t work. Our dementia care team specialises in delivering personalised care plans that respect each of our ladies and gentlemen’s history, preferences, and abilities. Our skilled staff are trained to recognise and respond to the varied stages and symptoms of dementia, ensuring safety, dignity, and quality of life. We offer state of the art facilities designed to assist and support those with dementia, find out more about those here.
Innovative memory care programmes
Our memory care programmes at Glenburnie Lodge are crafted to help our ladies and gentlemen maintain cognitive function and engage meaningfully with their environment. Through stimulating activities and memory-enhancing exercises, we aim to support mental clarity and slow cognitive decline. These programmes include memory games, reminiscence therapy, and sensory stimulation, all designed to bring joy and purpose to daily life.
Therapeutic activities that engage and comfort
Therapeutic activities play a crucial role in dementia care by promoting physical, emotional, and social well-being. Our ladies and gentlemen enjoy a wide variety of tailored activities such as music therapy, art sessions, gentle exercise classes, and gardening. These activities not only help reduce anxiety and agitation but also encourage social interaction, fostering a sense of community and belonging.
Supporting families every step of the way
Caring for someone with dementia can be overwhelming, and families often need guidance and support themselves. We offer a strong support network that includes regular communication with families, educational workshops, and counselling services. We work closely with families to ensure they feel informed, supported, and involved in their loved one’s care journey.
