Dementia Care

Here at Alderbrook Care Home in Leeds, we understand the deep concern families feel when a loved one is living with advanced dementia. As needs become more complex, it’s vital to have the right support in place – not only to manage day-to-day care, but to uphold dignity, maintain comfort, and preserve meaningful connection. Our experienced, specially trained team provides compassionate, person-centred care in a calm, secure environment designed for safety and reassurance at every stage of the dementia journey.

Every person deserves to be seen, heard, and valued. That’s why our approach is built around understanding each individual’s personal story, preferences and routines – providing care that supports both body and mind, while offering families peace of mind.

What is Advanced Dementia Care?

Advanced dementia care is about supporting individuals with significant memory loss, communication difficulties, behavioural changes and increasing physical dependency. It often involves full support with personal care, mobility, eating and emotional wellbeing. But beyond this, it’s also about creating a calm, predictable and nurturing environment where individuals can still experience comfort, connection, and quality of life.

Effective care at this stage includes clear routines, a gentle approach, and close collaboration with healthcare professionals. Managing distress, responding to non-verbal cues, and supporting challenging behaviours with patience and empathy are all essential parts of this care.

Advanced Dementia Care at Alderbrook

At Alderbrook, our home is fully equipped to support residents living with advanced dementia. From secure and comfortable living spaces to dementia-friendly layouts and monitored access points, safety and wellbeing are at the core of everything we do. Our team is trained in advanced dementia care, including de-escalation techniques, communication strategies and managing behavioural changes in a kind, respectful way.

Each resident has a person-centred care plan tailored to their unique needs, behaviours, and routines. We work closely with families and healthcare professionals to provide consistent, holistic support – with regular assessments, medication management, and innovative equipment like air mattresses and advanced Medicare systems to support comfort and care.

Residents can enjoy one-to-one or small group activities suited to their abilities, from sensory engagement and music to time spent outdoors in our secure garden. Mealtimes are calm and supportive, with nourishing food tailored to individual dietary needs.

We also know that this journey affects families too. That’s why our open-door policy means you’re always welcome – whether for a visit, a conversation, or just to be close to your loved one.
