Enhanced Dementia Care
At B&M Care, we provide specialist support that is tailored to the unique needs of each individual resident. That’s why our enhanced dementia care differs from standard dementia care by accommodating the requirements of people living with dementia who need additional support on a daily basis.
Enhanced dementia care provides greater structure, more supervision as well as tailored interventions to support cognitive, emotional and physical wellbeing. Whilst our dedicated carers work in partnership with each individual and their personal preferences, they also work with families to ensure they are closely involved in the care journey as well.

Cutting-Edge Technology for Enhanced Dementia Care
Our newly transformed home Dalton Lodge in Walthamstow is specially designed to facilitate enhanced dementia care, offering innovative and specialised assistive technologies and equipment. Residents can benefit from the following:
- PainChek, a tool that detects and manages pain for residents who struggle to verbalise their needs
- Enhanced dementia suite where residents can enjoy a calmer, smaller community with dedicated teams of specially trained carers for greater support
Our enhanced dementia facilities combine leading-edge assistive technology with deeply personalised support, giving residents not only safety and comfort, but also dignity and connection. This makes sure that each individual feels seen, understood, and supported at every stage of their journey.
Care Homes Designed For Dementia:
At B&M Care, we’ve created thoughtfully designed environments that go far beyond traditional care to ensure those living with advanced dementia have the extra support in place so they can live confidently and comfortably.
Optimum lighting and contrast. To support orientation, wayfinding and navigation. For example, outdoor pathways are designed to contrast with lawns, and light switches are given a contrasting plate behind them, to make them easier to locate.
Stimulation and points of interest. These include indoor murals, garden statues, places to visit within the grounds, and benches in corridors, where residents can sit and watch the world go by.
Carefully chosen colours. Colour can help to calm or stimulate, and can have an impact on the emotions and behaviour of people with dementia. We opt for calming colours that aid orientation around the home, with brighter colours to give a sense of energy and stimulation in activity areas.
Enhanced Dementia Care Needs Assessment
Before moving into one of our care homes, we will conduct a care needs assessment. This helps us to understand the individual’s care needs, goals, and likes and dislikes so we can provide the best possible support and help to maintain a high quality of life. We also use the assessment to allocate our enhanced dementia care resources to residents according to need. This forms a core part of the personalised care plan every resident will receive at B&M Care.

Moving from at-home or standard dementia care to enhanced dementia care can feel challenging and daunting for both the individual and their families. As specialists in this area, we are ready to provide support if you have any questions or concerns. We’ve shared some commonly asked questions below to help you find out more about our dedicated service.
Enhanced dementia care is a type of care given to those who require closer supervision or more support in order to stay well. Individuals receiving this type of support may have later stage or advanced dementia, and are experiencing symptoms that can no longer be managed at home or with standard dementia care.
Our specialist care teams, along with healthcare professionals, will work closely with you and your family to understand your loved one’s unique needs, preferences, and current symptoms. Together, we’ll explore whether standard dementia care can provide the right level of support for them, or if enhanced dementia care would offer greater safety, comfort, and wellbeing. We’re here to guide you every step of the way, so you won’t have to make this decision alone.
At B&M Care, we offer different funding options and offer bespoke care plans with all-inclusive fees, and we welcome those who are self-funded and those funded by local authorities. Before admission into one of our homes, we do require confirmation that the fees can be met. We also ask for evidence of private payment capability for a minimum of 3-4 years. You can learn more on our payment information page, or contact us directly.
