Stuart House

At Stuart House, specialist dementia care means tailored support for people living with progressive memory loss, disorientation, mood changes, or behaviour associated with dementia. We build personalised care plans that respect past routines, habit,s and preferences.

The layout of the home, décor, and lighting are designed to help orientation, and murals, art, and familiar objects support reminiscence. Nursing and personal care are delivered with sensitivity, aiming to maintain dignity and maximise independence wherever possible.

For residents requiring full-time support, residential dementia care at Stuart House offers daily assistance with personal care, meals, mobility, hygiene and supervision. In a home-like setting, residents receive individual attention, emotional support and engagement with the community of Stuart House

The gardens, sensory spaces, reading corners and regular outings by minibus give varied opportunities to enjoy calm moments, social connection or simply peace. Each room is private, many with ensuite or walk-in wet rooms, TV and a nurse call system, offering comfort and privacy.

Stuart House offers respite care for loved ones living with dementia so that they can stay with us on a short-term basis, perhaps after hospital discharge or simply to give family carers rest, all whilst receiving high quality dementia care.

The same high-quality residential services apply, engaging activities, safe surroundings, familiar caregivers and the comforts of home. Respite stays are assessed and planned with resident and family preferences in mind, to reduce transition stress and support continuity of care.

As dementia progresses, needs change. When palliative care becomes relevant, Stuart House is committed to providing compassionate, dignified support tailored to comfort and quality of life. This includes managing pain or discomfort, supporting nutrition and hydration, emotional and psychological wellbeing and offering a caring environment that honours end-of-life preferences.

Even when care focus shifts, Stuart House Care Home remains a place of belonging, with familiar surroundings, consistent care relationships and family involvement.
