Rubislaw Park is a dementia care home in Aberdeen that also offers unrivalled levels of Nursing Care, Residential Care and Respite Care.
We offer an all-inclusive lifestyle in a luxury yet homely environment where tailored, high-quality care and support is provided for older people and for those living with various health conditions that come with aging.
Dementia is a term that covers a whole host of conditions that affect people in different ways. There are varying levels and it’s most commonly known for causing changes to cognitive functions.
Early to mild signs and symptoms may include struggling to prepare meals, remembering dates and appointments, and experiencing difficulty navigating themselves outside of the home. These signs can be an indication that it’s the right time to look for full-time care, such as a care home. Nurses within a dementia care home can help with daily tasks such as personal care, assisting them with their dining, as well as providing any advanced medical care that they require.
We provide care and support for people living with dementia and our staff is highly skilled in offering nursing care and nursing dementia care. Our dedicated and experienced care teams are passionate about elderly care and they are committed to helping our residents adapt to their new surroundings. They have also received extensive training in caring for those with dementia and are very knowledgeable in offering the right support and identifying when more advanced care is needed.
Situated in Aberdeen, our home is situated within two acres of pure tranquillity. Our grounds are perfect for watching wildlife and provide a really calming outdoor space, especially for our residents with dementia. There are also plenty of opportunities for our individuals to enjoy the peace of the great outdoors away from the home too, as just a few minute’s walk from Rubislaw Park Care Home is the botanical gem that is Johnston Gardens.
At Rubislaw Park Care Home, our residents and their family members can experience the best of both worlds as we are just 3.5 miles from Aberdeen City Centre. This means we are ideally located near local amenities and to regularly provide day trips and excursions. There are many fantastic attractions available to residents that provide a full and exciting day out. Whether it’s for a spot of shopping at Union Square Shopping Mall and lunch or a visit to Aberdeen Beach, there is something for everyone.
It is important for all of our residents to keep stimulated and for our residents with dementia, we go to great lengths to create a programme that offers a wide range of engaging and inclusive activities. With all of our residents, we listen closely to how they like to spend their time so we can incorporate them into our weekly schedule, whether they take place in or outside the home.
When it comes to our residents with dementia, our team is great at including dementia friendly activities such as creating memory boxes, playing board games, and hosting musical-themed sessions. These are a great way to alleviate any negative emotions and stresses they may be feeling, and can also help to evoke memories. We have even put together our very own dementia choir, who was set up by our specialist dementia unit leader, Susan Gray. The group meet every Tuesday to sing and play instruments, and they have aptly named themselves ‘The Edelweiss Choir’ after the much-loved film ‘The Sound of Music’.
The choir has both sensory and therapeutic benefits and has seen many of our residents living with dementia be able to utilise their speech in a way they have not done for a while. The group has a positive impact on our resident’s social wellbeing as after each session, they indulge in an afternoon tea.
At our care home in Aberdeen, we are proud to provide a variety of care types including Dementia Care, Nursing Care, Residential Care and Respite Care. Our home is all-inclusive and our care is around-the-clock, meaning that no matter what our residents need or when they need it, the team is always there to support them. We take a person centred approach to care so it is important to us that we understand our residents individual needs and that they feel happy, safe, and listened to when staying at Rubislaw Park Care Home. That’s why we focus on building strong relationships with not only the residents but their relatives too.
Through creating these bonds with our residents’ loved ones, we now benefit from a Resident’s Support Group. The group was formed early last year by a number of relatives and has since turned into regular meetings. In these meetings, a variety of topics are discussed, and the common goal is to introduce new and fun opportunities to the residents both in our care home and in the local community. For example, since the group has been formed, we have held new events and excursions organised for them, such as a Gentleman’s Rotary Club, a Women’s Guild Forum, and pen pals with local schools.
