Beach House – Dementia Care
Beach House is a small household offering you both nursing and residential dementia care. Opened in 2018 it is situated in our main building and is home to up to 20 residents.
Care here is generally very well suited if you are in a more advanced stage of dementia or living with dementia and accompanying mental health difficulties. The calm, flowing design of the communal areas makes them easy for you to navigate independently, allowing you to wander at will. The lounge opens onto a stunning seaside-themed garden.
This theme is reflected throughout the house creating a bright, uplifting atmosphere to help bring back positive memories.
Beach House boasts many details and technological features aimed to enhance the wellbeing and independence of our residents.
Adaptive lighting technology
Inside Beach House, the corridors have bright ceiling panels which mimic a natural blue sky and the lighting levels can be adjusted at different times of the day. This is very helpful if your sleeping pattern has become topsy-turvy.
Assisted bathrooms
The seaside theme also extends to our special Reval Transcare assisted bathroom. These modern bathrooms offer hydro massage and a range of relaxing and calming lighting options.
The baths can be tilted so that you can relax shoulder-deep in warm water, yet feel fully supported.
Room Types
Residents’ bedrooms are all installed with sensors. These trigger lighting to come on and guide you safely, if you get up in the night to use the loo. The furniture in our bedrooms has clever cut-away sections which mean belongings can be found easily.
There is also plenty of space for your favourite pieces of furniture, to make your surroundings more familiar.
Each bedroom has brightly painted doors with large clear numbering. Individual memory boxes are fixed next to teach door, displaying photos and personal memorabilia. All of this makes room location simple and aids with independence.
Drinks and snacks
Main meals are prepared by our catering team. Beach House also has two kitchens where you will be able to make a drink or snack for yourself and your visitors.
