24-hour dementia nursing care

Our main focus is on getting to know the person as well as we can, so that we can meet their needs in ways that improve wellbeing.

Pinetree Lodge is a specialist service that is commissioned by the NHS, so we have high levels of qualified nursing staff available 24 hours a day. They are helped by our team of experienced support workers, to enable our residents to:

Keep a sense of meaning and purpose in life.
Protect personal relationships and social networks.
Nurture hope and self-esteem.
Maintain independence, choice and control.
Stay in touch with their local communities, and be active citizens.
Have a sense of stability and consistency.

Our homes

Pinetree Lodge is well-equipped to meet the healthcare needs of our residents. We also work hard to keep things as homely and relaxed as possible.

Families and the people we care for are encouraged to bring in furnishings, pictures, and ornaments for their bedrooms to make it their own.

We are careful in how we furnish and decorate Pinetree Lodge, so that it is both safe and easy to find your way around in. It’s very important to help people stay active and independent as much as possible.

The home has a number of separate lounge and dining areas, fully-assisted baths, and wet rooms.

We also have an enclosed dementia-friendly garden space, because we know that access to the outdoors is important for all of us. Getting the sun on your back and some fresh air in your lungs can do wonders for your wellbeing, whether you have dementia or not.

Our team

Our team of mental health nurses and support workers are specialists in dementia care and are passionate about what they do.

We specifically choose our colleagues not just for their skills, but for their personal qualities such as warmth, optimism, and a natural desire to help others.
