Home
Skye View Care Centre provides specialised dementia care in a dementia friendly environment. Our philosophy is to enable residents to have as much independence as possible. We do this through the design of the physical environment and by the special training and skills our staff have.
You will notice that there are a lot of bold contrasting colours used throughout the centre. You will see multi-coloured doors, bright red handrails and even red toilet seats! These might not be to everyone’s personal taste; but you won’t be able to deny that it makes these items stand out. This is important as many people who have dementia can have reduced eye-sight, so bright contrasting colours can be easier to see. There are many other examples of enabling which go on throughout the centre, so don’t hesitate to ask a member of staff if you are interested in how the home is designed.
There are many features at Skye View which can be utilised by residents and their families.
Residents have the choice of 2 different lounges, and 2 dinning areas.
