Specialist Dementia Care Home in Selby

Our homes specialise in caring for residents who are living with dementia

Our teams are continually undertaking dementia-focused training to ensure we are delivering the best care.

At Ochre Residential Care Homes, we provide specialist dementia care for residents living with memory loss and cognitive change. Our experienced teams undertake regular dementia-focused training to ensure every resident receives compassionate, informed and dignified support.

Dementia affects people in different ways. While conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia and Lewy body dementia may share similarities, each person’s experience is unique. Rather than focusing solely on diagnosis, we focus on the individual – their routines, preferences, relationships and life story.

We understand that dementia can affect memory, communication, confidence and reasoning. Our approach prioritises reassurance, familiarity and emotional wellbeing to reduce anxiety and help residents feel secure.

As a home specialising in dementia care, we approach caring for residents in several ways:

Person-centred dementia care

Truly effective dementia care begins with understanding the person behind the condition. We take time to learn about each resident’s background, interests and personal history so we can create meaningful engagement and conversation.

Our structured care planning system allows us to monitor health, nutrition and overall wellbeing while adapting support as needs change. By working closely with families and healthcare professionals, we ensure care remains responsive, proactive and tailored to the individual.

Daily routine and structure

Consistency is important for individuals living with dementia. Our daily routines are carefully structured to create familiarity and reduce uncertainty, particularly for new residents.

Residents are supported to make choices about meals, activities and how they spend their time. For those who may struggle with decision-making, our team provides gentle prompts and encouragement to maintain confidence and independence.

Activities are varied and designed to stimulate memory, creativity and social connection while respecting individual preferences.

Communication and Family Involvement

Open communication is central to our approach. We hold regular residents’ meetings and invite ongoing feedback to ensure daily life reflects residents’ preferences.

Families are actively involved in care planning and are kept informed through in-person meetings, virtual updates and secure digital messaging via our Relatives Gateway system. We aim to provide reassurance and transparency at every stage.
