Family involvement is encouraged, and we regularly adapt activities to reflect residents’ preferences and feedback.

Tailored activities for dementia care

At Highborder Lodge, we understand that meaningful activity plays a vital role in supporting people living with dementia. Our dementia-friendly activities are carefully designed to promote familiarity, comfort and emotional wellbeing, while helping residents remain engaged and connected.

Activities are adapted to each individual’s abilities, interests and life experiences, helping to reduce anxiety, encourage communication and maintain a sense of purpose. Our trained team takes time to understand personal histories and preferences, ensuring activities feel enjoyable and reassuring rather than overwhelming.

Tailored activities for those with dementia may include:

  • Reminiscence sessions using music, photographs and familiar objects
  • Gentle sensory activities to stimulate sight, sound and touch
  • One-to-one engagement and quiet companionship
  • Music and rhythm-based sessions to encourage expression
  • Simple creative activities designed to build confidence

By creating calm, structured and meaningful experiences, we help residents living with dementia feel supported, valued and included in everyday life at Highborder Lodge.
