Dorset is renowned for its natural beauty and rich cultural heritage, offering residents an abundance of opportunities for leisure. From familiar strolls around the local area to exploring historic landmarks such as Corfe Castle and Lyme Regis, there is no shortage of scenic and cultural attractions to enjoy at Oakdene Care Home.
Isolation can speed up the symptoms of dementia, which is why our dedicated activities team has crafted a stimulating and inclusive program specifically tailored for individuals with dementia. We strongly encourage residents to participate in everyday tasks such as folding laundry or setting the table. These activities not only provide a sense of accomplishment and pride for residents but also help to maintain purpose within their daily routine.
Creating a safe and compassionate environment within our dedicated dementia unit is a top priority for us as it helps to reduce any confusion and anxiety among residents. Our comfortable lounge spaces, en-suite bedrooms, and emphasis on community ensure that our care home replicates residents’ previous familiar environment.
