Types of care at Abney Court

Residential care

Allowing your loved ones to continue to enjoy a fulfilling lifestyle and remain as independent as possible, residential care at Abney Court gives you complete peace of mind, secure in the knowledge that your family member is safe and happy.

Our lifestyle team prides themselves on organising fun and varied activities for residents, ranging from exercise classes and gardening to pamper afternoons. And if you miss the familiar household tasks of folding laundry, laying the table for lunch, or helping in the garden, you’re welcome to continue doing them here.

Respite care

It can be extremely hard, both physically and emotionally, to care for an older loved one at home, and making time for yourself to recharge is crucial. Our team at Abney Court provides short term respite care, enabling you to take a break, while we support and care for your elderly relative. We can also offer convalescent care following a stay in hospital, smoothing the way to returning home.

End of life care

Everyone deserves dignity and respect as they approach the end of their journey, and our highly experienced team can provide empathetic understanding and compassion at that difficult time. We work with your loved one, family, GP and other healthcare professionals to give palliative care, ensuring that everything is as you wish in their final stage of life.

Living well with dementia at Abney Court

Dementia care

Our caring and experienced colleagues learn all they can about your loved one, tailoring every aspect of their care and lifestyle to their unique needs and interests. At Care UK, we’re trained in the latest dementia care approaches, and a Dementia Coach in each home supports all colleagues to deliver high quality care.

Our home is designed to the latest dementia standards to provide the most comfortable and enriching environment for people living with dementia. Our highly experienced team at Abney Court will assist your loved one with understanding and patience, offering enriching activities they enjoy. Music, art, and gentle exercise have been proven to help slow the memory loss associated with dementia, allowing people to retain their independence for longer.

Understanding and getting to know you

We take the time to get to know you and your loved one, putting each individual's needs, desires and choices at the heart of the care we provide.

Here's what one relative had to say: “The facilities and range of activities are excellent and the levels of comfort superb, but it is the love and care that [my father] receives from his carers which is such a comfort to us. They treat him with such kindness and respect.”

Providing dementia friendly environments

Our immediate surroundings can have a huge impact on our quality of life, particularly when trying to make sense of the world around us. We work with academic partners to create care home environments that help people living with dementia to live as independent and stress-free a life as possible.

Our dedicated people and their expertise

Our people are chosen for their attitude, dedication and caring nature, and we are committed to their on-going training and development. From our carers and nurses, to our activity coordinators, chefs and maintenance teams, we will go the extra mile to build strong relationships – not just with individuals living in our care homes, but also with their friends and family.

Support for families and carers

We understand that a dementia diagnosis will affect more than just one individual, and we're here to support you and your family. Seeing a loved one change can be a difficult and heart-breaking experience and often the process of needing or delivering care can change family relationships significantly.

Namaste care

We are proud to offer namaste care to residents living with advanced dementia. The purpose of namaste care is to give comfort and pleasure through sensory stimulation. Our namaste sessions are run by trained carers and involve individual caring touch, such as a hand or foot massages, music therapy, themed sensory and gentle movement sessions, or simply reminiscing.
