Helping those living with a diagnosis of dementia reach their full potential

Helping a relative living with dementia to lead a fulfilling life through the activities of daily living could become challenging within a home environment. Cramond Residence offers a solution that is always in the best interest of the person living with dementia. We provide a warm and welcoming environment in which the person will feel safe and in which all of their needs will be addressed and met. Family members and friends can then visit whenever they like to provide the love and support they want to give, without having to go through the emotional strain of being the primary care giver.

Our dementia care is offered within the general Care Home community or in our specialist area, which has been carefully designed with the right facilities, amenities and calming décor for those where dementia is at a more advanced stage. Where care is given depends on the developmental stage of the illness.

All patients living with dementia receive exceptional care by our team of specially trained nurses, team leaders and carers, all of whom have the high levels of clinical skill, empathy and compassion needed. The medication and care provided is based on a detailed Personal Care plan, which is continually assessed and revised to ensure that the best possible care is being delivered.

We also provide a wide range of activities that have been specially designed to give those living with dementia a richer and more satisfying life. Our Lifestyle Coordinators are particularly passionate about helping all our residents reach their full potential.

This service is supplemented by our regular body-balance classes, clinically proven to reduce the likelihood of falls.
