Our approach to dementia care
Everyone’s needs are different, so we take the time to understand each resident and how best to support their day-to-day life in our dementia support home. We offer all residents:
Safe and comfortable environment
Kingfishers is a dementia support home in Bourne End set within a peaceful, manor-style property. Rooms are nice and spacious, with ensuite wet rooms and the option for your loved one to bring personal furniture and belongings if they wish.
The building is easy to navigate, with lift access across all four floors and quiet spaces for residents who prefer calm surroundings. Our beautiful courtyard garden is enclosed and secure, meaning our residents can enjoy a safe outdoor space for fresh air or quiet time.
Compassionate supervision and care
Our team is experienced, well-trained and always present. With 24/7 nurses on-site and a stable care team who know the residents well, support is always consistent and reliable. Familiarity matters in dementia care, so we retain staff members for many years and never use agency care workers.
Our dedicated staff take the time to notice what helps someone feel calm, supported and in control of their routine.
Engaging activities for all abilities
Activities at Kingfishers are chosen with our dementia patients in mind and there’s always something going on. That might be flower arranging, interactive games, gentle exercise or a trip into the local village for tea, shopping and special events.
For those who prefer quiet time, there are relaxed sessions like crafts or reading and we make sure everyone spends their days at their own pace. There are always opportunities to create Magic Moments for our residents living with dementia.
Personalised care plans
Before residents move in, we work closely with their families to understand how best to support them. Every single care plan is individual and includes everything from specific health needs and personal routines to details that help with everyday comfort. As time goes on and things change, these plans will be reviewed and adjusted as needed.
