Dementia Care in Highgate

Signature at Highgate offers a dedicated community for residents living with dementia. Brand new and purpose-built, our home’s accommodation is designed to support residents within a safe, dementia-specific environment.

This helps our residents feel at home, without overstimulation from a large number of residents in the same environment. This enables our specialist dementia care teams to get to know the residents very well and ensure they feel at ease in their new home. Each suite has been specifically designed for those living with dementia. The décor is calm, relaxing and gives a warm family feel.

Residents are encouraged to personalise their room by 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 and personal telephone line.

U P (Daughter of Resident) – Signature at Highgate

My wife has been cared for by Signature for only three weeks. After an unhappy experience elsewhere Signature has proved to be an amazing discovery. I can now relax knowing she is in safe, caring hands. none of the staff wait to be asked but offer help non-stop. We all know that recruiting care staff is tough but someone has chosen brilliantly. I see miles of smiles and I know where I am going for five-star care when I need help myself.

J A (Husband of Resident) – Signature at Highgate

We are delighted with the care and kindness shown to her in the almost two months since she first arrived at Signature Highgate. I can do no better than to quote one of her closest chums who told us: 'She is far more relaxed, bright and content than we've seen for ages. So good to see her doing so well.'

FACILITIES IN OUR COMMUNITIES

With our residents at the forefront of everything that we do, we have ensured that every 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 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.

HOW WE CARE FOR YOUR LOVED ONE LIVING WITH DEMENTIA

We understand that each resident living with dementia is different so 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 you loved one has everything they may need all in one place!
