Dementia Nursing Care County Durham
At Denehurst and Stockton Lodge, we deliver high-quality dementia nursing care in County Durham. Our skilled teams offer personal, round-the-clock support to help residents live with dignity and comfort through every stage of dementia.
Specialist Support for Every Stage of Dementia
Dementia affects each person differently. That’s why our care is never one-size-fits-all. We provide tailored nursing care for individuals with early memory issues, mid-stage confusion, or advanced needs involving complex behaviours.
Whether the resident is at Denehurst’s dedicated dementia unit or part of Stockton Lodge’s integrated service, each receives professional, person-centred nursing care.
24/7 Skilled Nursing on Site
Our dementia nursing professionals oversee care delivery, manage medical needs, and support residents through physical and emotional challenges.
We provide expert care in:
• Cognitive decline and memory loss
• Physical health concerns
• Emotional distress and behavioural issues
• End-of-life and palliative care
Care plans are reviewed regularly to adapt to changing needs, ensuring residents stay safe and supported at all times.
A Compassionate, Dignified Approach
At the heart of our dementia care is compassion. We focus on building trusting relationships and maintaining a calm, consistent environment.
We communicate clearly, use positive body language, and work hard to reduce fear, confusion, or agitation.
Calm, Safe and Comfortable Living Spaces
Our dementia units are thoughtfully designed to promote security and reduce disorientation. Rooms can be personalised with familiar belongings from home, helping each resident feel comfortable and recognised.
Shared spaces are structured to support routine and minimise stress. Quiet corners, sensory tools, and calm décor all contribute to a soothing atmosphere.
Engaging Activities That Support Wellbeing
Residents enjoy a variety of meaningful activities designed to stimulate memory, promote joy, and reduce isolation. These include:
• Music and reminiscence therapy
• Baking, arts and crafts
• Gentle movement and sensory experiences
• Spiritual visits and community engagement
We also offer the RITA dementia tool — a digital system that brings entertainment, memory games, and calming tools to residents in an interactive format.
Support for Families Through the Journey
Dementia affects more than just the individual — it impacts the whole family. We support relatives through education, honest communication, and emotional guidance. Families are always welcome to visit, participate in care planning, and engage in activities.
We understand the worries and challenges of dementia. That’s why we make it our priority to offer families peace of mind and open access to our team.
Holistic, Person-Centred Care
Our nursing care goes beyond clinical needs. We support each resident’s physical, emotional, spiritual, and social wellbeing. This means:
• Nutritious meals tailored to dietary needs
• Medication management and fall prevention
• Assistance with daily living activities
• Comfort and companionship throughout the day
