Your dementia journey, supported
We know how confusing and overwhelming life can feel with dementia, for both residents and families. That’s why our care is gentle, familiar and reassuring, helping people over 65 feel safe, settled and supported. With kind faces, thoughtful routines and plenty of patience, Forest Home makes each day a little easier.
Making dementia care meaningful
Dementia Champion support
With a certified Dementia Champion, we offer personalised training and support, creating a safe space to ask questions and learn practical ways to provide care.
Family and
community sessions
Working alongside the Dementia Society, we use activities, role play and interactive approaches to learning, in group or one-to-one settings, to make each session engaging and easy to follow.
Sensory tools
for comfort
We use sensory toys, robotic pets, dolls, ribbons and personalised care tools to help residents feel calm and connected. These gentle aids can offer reassurance and spark meaningful moments throughout the day.
Raising
awareness locally
We lead awareness sessions in the community for those newly diagnosed with dementia. Through informative talks, hands-on props and friendly guidance, individuals and families can understand the condition and feel more confident.
Therapy dogs and activities
In addition to sensory activities, we welcome therapy dogs and organise engaging experiences to brighten our residents’ days. These visits bring comfort, joy and companionship.
When higher care is needed
While we provide compassionate and tailored dementia care, there may be times when very advanced dementia requires specialised support beyond what we offer. In these cases, we’ll help guide you towards the right next step to ensure your loved one receives the care they need.
Common dementia care questions

Yes, we invite and encourage visiting at any time so families can stay close and enjoy time together in a familiar, homely setting.

How dementia care can help
