A dementia care centre of excellence
Blythe Rose Dementia Care is the leading regional specialist in the care of residents living with dementia and associated complexities and challenges.
The home offers a safe and enriching environment for the entire dementia journey; from early diagnosis to changing behaviours, through to complex needs. A centre of excellence in innovation and support especially for middle and later stages of dementia care.
Specialist care is delivered by an experienced and highly qualified team, dedicated to supporting individuals to live well with their condition.
The right environment, interventions and an individualised approach all work harmoniously to help people live well, slowing down the progression of dementia and in some cases, minimising reliance upon medications.
“So much goes into living well with dementia and at Blythe Rose Dementia Care, we consider the whole picture. Our happy community provides the social interaction and friendships that have such a positive emotional impact on wellbeing. Being actively engaged in everyday tasks and activities helps preserve key skills and independence. Gentle physical activity and music not only help to improve mood, but can slow deterioration in those with cognitive problems.
“The right interventions – environmental, pharmaceutical or a combination of both, undertaken by clinical professionals and regularly reviewed – work to reduce anxieties, manage behaviours and keep people safe. Good, nutritious meals and hydration have a part to play in helping maintain brain and cognitive function. At Blythe Rose Dementia Care, residents receive wraparound, holistic care carefully planned to meet their current and evolving needs.”
Dementia Care Lead, Blythe Rose
A person-centred approach
Every individual is unique and at MACC Care we see the person, not the disease. At Blythe Rose Dementia Care, we support residents living with dementia to enjoy quality of life, whatever the journey ahead holds. We work tirelessly and with respect to uphold dignity, preserve independence and provide a happy environment where loved ones can feel safe and at home.
Staff numbers are adjusted based on the existing and changing needs, allowing our team to deliver the personalised support that makes such a difference. Expert dementia nursing care ensures optimal health and wellbeing.
Dementia-friendly initiatives
Whether we’re using the latest innovations such as VR headsets to transport residents into familiar scenarios, inducing a sense of calm or enjoyment, or getting families and friends together to share experiences at our regular Dementia Hubs, Blythe Rose Dementia Care works at the forefront of best practice.
Blythe Rose Dementia Care is equipped to deliver enriching experiences and stability for anyone requiring dementia care across all stages. We offer each resident a ‘home from home’ environment, and importantly, a ‘home for life’. Your loved one will be encouraged to engage in everyday household tasks, eat together family-style and enjoy social times safely, with much or as little participation as they wish. Family and friends visiting are encouraged to be ‘part of the family’ and are always welcome to visit.
“My husband is positively encouraged to keep connected and engaged with family and friends – I love getting a call from him. And so do all the family.”
Gill L (Wife of MACC Care resident)
“I can’t say enough how happy we are that our mother is in this home. It’s wonderful.””
Joseph M (Son-in-law of MACC Care Resident)
“…the support given to Mum is excellent. She is treated with an understanding of her dignity and needs. She is cared for with patience and gentleness.”

Designed for those living with dementia
The home’s design follows principles recommended by the DSDC – an international centre of knowledge and expertise dedicated to improving the lives of people with dementia. Every area within Blythe Rose Dementia Care has been thoughtfully considered for dementia wellbeing – a place where residents can retain a sense of identity and autonomy within a calming environment.
Our 1960’s inspired room is always popular – a space where families can spend time with loved ones amidst familiar surroundings of yesteryear. This room is also ideal for reminiscence therapy.
