We aim to provide our residents with a secure, relaxed and homely environment in which their identity, well being and comfort are of prime importance.

We recognise that the person is often part of an extended family and that these family ties remain a vital part of the person’s life and must be maintained wherever they live. The family will be supported and their needs met through a positive relationship with the Home.

Our aims and objectives are based on recognised best practice as recommended by the Alzheimer’s Society and through research findings such as those promoted by Professor Tom Kitwood.

Person-centred care is at the core of our culture. Everything we do is focused around the person, the reality they are experiencing and the behaviour that this causes. We believe that expressions of behaviour, which are often described as challenging or difficult, are an attempt to communicate and that it is up to us to interpret them.

St Andrews Care Homes’ management team has over 15 years experience in long-term residential dementia care principally with older people and now with those under 65. We pride ourselves in offering a highly professional service with a personal touch.

All care staff within the Homes will be appropriately qualified or undergoing suitable training. This ensures that our high standards are maintained in line with the latest developments in Care Practices and as may be laid down in appropriate Legislation and Regulations by The Commission for Social Care Inspection.

St Andrews Care Homes was recognised with the Investors in People award in January 2001 and reaccredited in January 2004 for demonstrating our commitment to the development of our staff.

Through the staff and the design of the Homes we aim to provide support to a wide range of people with a dementia and other conditions.
