Dementia Care in Hertford

Signature at Bentley House offers a dedicated community for residents living with dementia. As a purpose-built home, we offer a number of dementia-friendly private apartments in a separate community. This helps our residents feel at home, without overstimulation from a large number of residents in the same environment, and enables our specialist dementia care teams to get to know the residents very well and ensure they feel at ease within their own space.

Each suite has been specially designed for those living with dementia. The décor is calm, relaxing and gives a warm family feel. Residents are encouraged to personalise their room bringing items they are familiar with from their own home such as family photos, a favourite chair, dressing table or book shelf, we work with families to ensure that each resident’s room is perfect for them in comfort, design and layout enabling independence. Each studio has its own en-suite wet room with sensor controlled lighting and special wayfinding features as well as a television.

HOW WE CARE FOR YOUR LOVED ONE LIVING WITH DEMENTIA

We understand that each resident living with dementia is different. We dedicate time to each resident getting to know each individual on a personal basis from day one, this includes understanding as much as we can about each resident including family life, background, likes dislikes and important life events.

Spending this valuable time with our residents enables us to create a tailored care plan and bespoke activities programme specifically for each individual, making the most of their capabilities and empowering independence. Care plans are updated on a daily basis and adapted as residents’ interests, capabilities and needs change.

As a registered nursing home, we can look after residents throughout their dementia journey. With a dementia care team on-site 24 hours a day, you can have the peace of mind that your loved one has everything they may need all in one place!

We would love to show you how we can help your loved one live positively with dementia. Book a visit here to arrange your personal tour and consultation.

FACILITIES IN OUR COMMUNITIES

With our residents at the forefront of everything that we do, we have ensured that every little detail has been taken into consideration. From easily identifiable rooms to wayfinding, we have ensured that every aspect of the community is accessible and easily understood. We pride ourselves on having a safe and homely environment with plenty of quiet places for our residents to relax and unwind. We make the best use of natural light with floor to ceiling windows throughout the communities to help our residents make sense of their environments. What’s more, residents living within these communities benefit from private access to a beautiful open-plan dining room with a lounge, kitchen, an activities area and outdoor terrace. There is also an accessible spa bathroom. Residents may also wish to visit the main communal areas on the ground floor which include a cinema, café, pub and outdoor gardens.

Testimonials from our Residents' Relatives

My friend has resided at Bentley House for many years on the dementia floor. The staff have always been so friendly and caring towards all the residents and visitors from what I have seen during my time visiting. Nothing seems to be too much trouble when speaking to the staff, no matter how big or small the task is. The home is immaculate, with wonderful settings and daily activities for the residents to enjoy! I always enjoy my time spent there.

S W (Friend of Resident) – Signature at Bentley House

Dad moved in to Signature Bentley House at the end of June where he was very comfortable. We could also relax in the knowledge that all the staff were looking after Dad well and had his best interest at heart. The staff were incredibly caring, kind and compassionate (to all of us) and for that I thank you all for looking after Dad so well in his last months. However, I will be popping in from time to time to enjoy the fabulous hot chocolate in reception.

Roger W (Son of Resident) – Signature at Bentley House

Bentley House is a beautiful, welcoming home with incredible staff. From care teams to reception, everyone greets Dad with warmth, making him feel valued and part of an extended family. No request is too much, and they personalise his care thoughtfully. We feel truly blessed to have Dad here and hope he continues to enjoy this amazing care for years to come.
