Care at
Buchanan Court

Residential care

Our 80-bed home is light, contemporary and luxurious, with stunning gardens with seated areas in which to sit and bask. Buchanan Court has a wide range of care services for residents to continue to enjoy a fantastic lifestyle when they move in, such as its own hair salon, coffee shop and cinema room. We even have our own pub! A great team of people work closely with residents and their families to develop personalised care plans that take into account each person’s experiences, interests and preferences – we find out about everything from what they do and don’t enjoy doing, to the times they like to get up and go to bed. Delicious, nutritious meals are served in our dining room, perfectly prepared by our resident chef, or, if your loved one prefers, they can choose to eat in their room. 

We offer residents choices about how they want to be cared for and supported, and treat each person with dignity and respect. Everyone in our team shares the same goal of making sure that every resident leads a happy, comfortable and fulfilling life.

Everything we do is focused on providing round the clock compassionate care, offering a full programme of activities and events.

Nursing care

Our experienced and highly qualified nursing team is on hand night and day to provide support for even the most complex needs, including parkinson’s disease, dementia and multiple sclerosis. With every resident having a comprehensive personalised care plan, which is updated regularly, you can be assured that when we work with GPs and specialist healthcare professionals, you can be confident your loved one will receive the best care possible.

Nursing dementia care

Our team provides nursing care to residents who are living with dementia. We have qualified clinical colleagues on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week and we work closely with GPs and other healthcare professionals in the local community. So if your loved one has additional physical needs, from multiple sclerosis to stroke or a brain injury, in addition to a dementia diagnosis, our experienced clinical team is on hand to give them first class, tailored care.

Respite care

It’s important if you are caring for an older loved one at home, or looking after someone on their discharge from hospital, to remember to be kind to yourself, too. Our short term respite care is ideal in this situation. Giving you complete peace of mind, we can provide your relative with the care they need, allowing you time to recharge, take a short break or holiday, or just enjoy a good night’s sleep.

End of life care

We believe that every person deserves dignity and respect in all aspects of their life. As they approach the end of their life, this is perhaps more important than ever.  Our caring and empathetic team provides highly sensitive and compassionate end-of-life care, working with your loved one and their family, as well as their GP and other health professionals, to plan their care. Palliative care is provided to manage pain and make your loved one as comfortable as possible, ensuring they receive the care they want, where and how they want it, in their final moments.

Getting to know you

We take the time to get to know you and your loved one, putting each individual's needs, desires and choices at the heart of the care we provide.

Dementia friendly environments

Our immediate surroundings can have a huge impact on our quality of life, particularly when trying to make sense of the world around us. We work with academic partners to create care home environments that help people living with dementia to live as independent and stress-free a life as possible.

Our people and training

Our people are chosen for their attitude, dedication and caring nature, and we are committed to their on-going training and development. From our carers and nurses, to our activity coordinators, chefs and maintenance teams, we will go the extra mile to build strong relationships – not just with individuals living in our care homes, but also with their friends and family.

Support for families and carers

We understand that a dementia diagnosis will affect more than just one individual, and we're here to support you and your family. Seeing a loved one change can be a difficult and heart-breaking experience and often the process of needing or delivering care can change family relationships significantly.
