For individuals with dementia, our home provides a safe, caring, and welcoming atmosphere, and presents itself as a true home away from home.

Frustrations and tensions associated with dementia are eased through daily planned activities, social and mental stimulation, and constant engagement and support.

Bothwell Castle’s Dementia Care

It seems to us like a lot of dementia care in the Bothwell area seems to frequently focus solely on the disease and how it affects a person’s loss of function, rather than how the person might be feeling. This seems to exacerbate many of the issues dementia seems to cause and brings about a lot of stress and frustration. Dementia patients respond better when their care supports independence while still treating them with decency and respect.

Bothwell Castle Care Home recognises that none of our local residents are alike and that some people will only require modest assistance while others will require much more. Our approach to care is intended to help people maintain their sense of self and independence for as long as feasible.

Our Perspective on Dementia Care

Effective communication is so essential when it comes to high-quality dementia care, with friends, families, and the residents themselves. That’s why all of our team members have been educated and trained so that they all know how to best support our residents living with dementia, and how to best encourage them to express themselves. At Bothwell Castle Care Home in South Lanarkshire, we provide a variety of services to assist our residents in living independently in a comfortable and engaging environment.

Because of our experience working with people who have memory loss and a variety of other dementia symptoms, we can provide unrivalled care to our residents in the Bothwell area. When it comes to assisting people with dementia, there is no one-size-fits-all approach, which is why our dementia care plans at Bothwell Castle Care Home are tailored to each individual’s needs.
