Dementia

Imagine someone standing in your way, trying to prevent your getting on with your day. This, we believe, is how it must seem to some with Dementia — who genuinely needs to get to somewhere, with someone repeatedly asking them to sit down.

With residents who have Dementia, physical mobility itself may be causing problems. They become fixated with the need to get somewhere or to see someone, and no amount of persuasion will deter them from the task.

Often, this is a trick of the memory, taking them back to a time when their children where young, or they they had to go to work.

Sunningdale has secure grounds allowing us to have an open door policy, this often prevents the resident from becoming agitated, as in other homes where the means of access to outside is often locked.

We will offer and give free impartial advice irrespective of you choosing a Crabtree Care Home. We know how difficult it is to choose a Care Home. Hopefully you only have to do this once and it is generally the only time you will become enmeshed in the world of fees and allowances. We do this for a living, let us help where we can.

Setting High Standards in Care

We have been caring for people for over 35 years — in the NHS, Social Services, and our own care homes. We were in care before we were in business.

We believe passionately that: if we're not doing it right, we shouldn't be doing it at all. Any concerns about our homes will be investigated and addressed promptly.

See For Yourself

We invite you to inspect all of our care homes for yourselves (by prior arrangement), before making what is a very important and personal decision.

Our Commitment

Our care homes have been awarded the Government's Investor in People award, which shows our commitment to residents and staff.
