About Saint Cecilia’s Care Home
Saint Cecilia’s Care Home provides specialist care for up to 21 people who are living with any stage or form of dementia, as well as day care. Our care is based on the belief that people should be able to enjoy as much individual freedom and independence as possible whilst they are living with dementia. We provide relationship-centred care where each member of staff provides care for all the residents but builds stronger bonds with a small number of residents. For those with dementia this helps create comfort and familiarity as they always have someone in particular, they trust and can relate to and go to, which is very important.
