Dementia Care

Dementia Care

Dementia care refers to caring for all conditions defined as dementia.

Types of dementia include Alzheimer’s, Lewy Body Dementia, Vascular Dementia and Combined.

Quality Care

Dementia care done right

With so many unknowns, it can be hard – or seemingly impossible – to get dementia care right. That said, it can make a huge difference to people with dementia when they get the right care for their needs. We make it possible.

With the right surroundings and a tailored daily routine, people with dementia can get the quality of life that they truly deserve. Time, energy, understanding, reassurance and respect are all essential elements of dementia care. But, ultimately, it takes much more to understand each person’s needs and work with them to give them that safe and healthy lifestyle.

Our homes in Wigan, Standish and Ramsbottom all provide specialised dementia care. With a combination of the building and its surroundings, expertly trained staff and approaches that deliver best practices in dementia care, we enable residents to age with vibrancy.

Award Winning

State of the art Dementia Care

We pride ourselves on a progressive approach to CQC-compliant dementia care.

Our Norley Hall Care Home has a purpose-built dementia unit, providing the right environment and facilities for managing complex symptoms of dementia. These state-of-the-art buildings are designed and decorated with stimulation and independence in mind.

Then we have Worthington Lake Care Home, which is an accredited dementia specialist home. Working with leading academics, we have created a perfectly designed home in a picturesque location. The home is based at the Standish Care Village, a unique care setting which provides residents with a home for life. Spread across three care homes, all levels of care are supported.

And, our latest home is also with the Standish Care Village, Langtree Care Home. Based just outside of Wigan, the 52-bed purpose-built home is designed with dementia in mind. Like Worthington Lake, it has adopted a Household Model of care, an approach that is proven to improve and extend the lives of those with dementia.

Both Worthington Lake and Langtree Care Home offer spacious lounges filled with natural light from ceiling windows, complemented by calming décor and soft furnishings. Open planned kitchens and dining rooms, which act as the heart of the home and an unrivalled access to nature.
