Our dementia care is designed to be compassionate, person-centred, and supportive, helping residents maintain their independence, dignity, and quality of life.

What is Dementia Care?

Dementia is a long-term condition that affects memory, thinking, and cognitive abilities, impacting daily life in various ways. With the right support, people living with dementia can continue to enjoy their favourite activities and maintain a strong sense of self. At Maples Care Home, our goal is to preserve residents’ independence for as long as possible while providing specialist care tailored to their individual needs.

Dementia care at Maples is not just about medical support – it is about enhancing emotional and social well-being through understanding, reassurance, and a structured routine that fosters confidence and a sense of belonging.
