What is Dementia Care?
Dementia is a neurological condition that affects a person’s ability to remember things, think critically and communicate with others like they used to. Those living with dementia can continue to live a content life with the right care and support, and at a dementia care home, a team of professionals will support residents with daily care needs as well aid in retaining a sense of self and independence for as long as possible.
The level of dementia care often differs from care home to care home. Some care homes may offer low level dementia support, while others can look after the resident from diagnosis all the way until end-of-life. The dementia unit in a care home or nursing home will usually offer dementia-friendly activities and alternative therapies which help individuals to feel safe and happy in a homely environment.
Residential Dementia Care
Residential Dementia Care is a care type provided to older people who require additional support with daily duties following a diagnosis of Dementia. As we grow older, it is common for the condition to develop and for daily tasks to become harder to complete due to memory loss and other factors. Our care teams go above and beyond to provide the highest standards of person-centred care which aids residents in living a life they can enjoy and eliminating any worries or frustrations.
Residents can treat our care home as their very own home, making use of the many services and amenities on offer to them while not needing to worry about household responsibilities. Our care staff are available around-the-clock to assist residents while encouraging independence where possible. Our mission is to ensure every resident’s health and well-being requirements are satisfied.

Nursing Care
Nursing care is the most suitable care option for those who require 24/7 medical assistance and personal care from a registered nurse. Those residing at a nursing home will receive the best care and support no matter if it’s day or night. A nursing team can better the lives of those living with physical disabilities, long-term health conditions, learning difficulties and critical illnesses.
At Longbridge Deverill, we provide 24-hour nursing care for residents, with a dedicated nursing unit. Our experienced team provides exceptional care and support for those in need of comprehensive care as they become reliant on others. Our highly trained staff go above and beyond to ensure residents receive the finest care at all times and are truly comfortable and content at our home no matter their personal circumstances.
Respite Care
Respite Care is a short-term care option that enables a person to have some time out from their daily routine. Those who are caring full-time for their loved ones can use respite care to take scheduled or unscheduled breaks from their caregiving duties while we look after them until they feel ready. If someone is recently recovering from an illness or operation, respite care provides you with the care you need until you are well enough to resume to normal life.
Respite care can also be used as a way of trialling our care home for a few weeks and get a first hand glimpse of life at Longbridge Deverill. No matter how long someone needs respite care for, our staff will go above and beyond to ensure everyone gets the care they need to feel complete again.
Providing Our Support at Every Step
We understand that each person looking for care has unique needs and circumstances. That’s why we carry out a care assessment on all residents following the admission process in order to customise a care plan that is solely tailored to them. If you are looking for care on behalf of a loved one, we invite you to chat with our friendly team where they can provide in-depth evaluation, recommend a suitable care method as well as answer any questions you may have for peace of mind.
We are regulated by the Care Quality Commission, who are an independent regulator that inspects and assesses the quality of health and social care in England. This ensures both residential care homes and nursing homes in England meet a high standard of care within all areas of the home and who will support improvements of the facility if deemed necessary. We are committed to providing a homely, welcoming environment that supports all care needs and interests.
