At the forefront
of dementia care
in the region.
Welcome to our dedicated specialist dementia website. Here, you'll find all the information about our specialist dementia care homes, including St Catherine's for general dementia care and The Manor, specifically designed for young onset dementia, along with useful resources and information on dementia in general.
Working and collaborating with experts in the field of dementia, ‘Path’ is our transformative programme, designed to cultivate a culture of excellence in dementia care.
At the heart of our approach to dementia care is expertise. We understand that to be the best, there’s a need to forge solid, lasting collaborations with leaders in the field. This collaborative approach means that every aspect of care we provide, whether that’s dementia or young onset dementia, is formed using the latest cutting edge research, and enables us to maintain best practices, formed using the very latest information and data available.
This knowledge sharing, research lead care enables us to offer first class dementia support, at the forefront of dementia care in the region.

Our approach to dementia care is centred on fostering an environment of compassion, love, dignity and understanding. Our teams across both of our dementia specialist home, St Catherine’s and The Manor at St Catherine’s, understand and are fully prepared to meet the unique challenges posed by dementia care and tailor their approaches accordingly.
Emphasis on space and using the latest design and technology research in the field of dementia, to create spaces that make sure that every single aspect of the environment is dementia friendly is also central to our approach.
Combined, these two go a long way to nurturing the perfect culture and environment to enable those living with dementia to feel safe, loved, respected and comfortable.
Our approach.
Spotting signs early.
The first small signs of dementia are the most important, as they could be an indication of something more serious, so it’s important for families and carers to be aware of any small but noticeable changes.
Detecting these signs sooner rather than later is key to effectively managing symptoms and finding the best treatment and support available.
Let’s take a look at some common symptons and how to spot them…
When it comes to dementia, every journey and path is different. We explore some of these journeys in our case studies, as we take a look at how dementia impacts not only the person living with it, but all of those in the support network too, from carers and families to loved ones and friends.
