Dementia Services

Forest Care Village enables clients with Dementia to enjoy a life of quality and when possible to participate in the everyday life of our centre. We provide Dementia services to older people and those with working age Dementia with a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease, or other forms of cognitive impairment, who display non-aggressive characteristics and moderate to high confusion. Our Dementia facilities are safe with keypad entry codes and we have full-time lifestyle coordinators who attend Alzheimer's Society training.
