Boclair Care Home is proud to offer specialist dementia care to individuals living with dementia who require daily care and support. While our commitment to providing exceptional care remains a top priority, we too want to empower residents to make the most of their abilities and experience a sense of freedom whenever possible and preserving dignity. Our care teams are experienced and have undergone comprehensive dementia training covering all challenges associated with dementia, ensuring that every resident feels loved in a safe and homely setting.
As no two individuals are the same, we understand that some dementia residents may require minimal support while others may require more intensive care. To cater to individual care needs, the dementia team creates a customised care plan to ensure residents receive the right level of care. Care plans are continuously reassessed and adjusted to ensure they remain in alignment with the evolving needs of our dementia residents.
Nursing care is available to residents who require around-the-clock medical and personal care. This method of specialist care is highly beneficial to individuals with high dependency needs, physical disabilities, long-term health conditions and critical illnesses including those with advanced dementia.
Our nursing home has nursing equipment and profiling beds in bedrooms for maximum comfort and accessibility. Each resident will be assigned a dedicated nurse who will get to know an individual to the best of their ability, and who will learn their likes, dislikes and preferences in order to provide the highest standard of person-centred care.
Respite care is a short-term care option designed to provide individuals, including caregivers, with a temporary break from their usual routines. It offers relief for those in need of a respite from their care duties. Additionally, it serves as an excellent choice for individuals recovering from an injury or following a hospital stay, offering them a supportive and caring environment until they regain their independence.
Respite care can also be used as the opportunity for prospective residents to spend a few weeks in a care home initially, as a way of trialing a care home before committing to the permanent move. No matter the reason for choosing Boclair, every individual who stays at our Bearsden residence will be treated with utmost respect and care.
Palliative care, often referred to as end-of-life care, is a compassionate and specialised care service provided to individuals approaching the final days, weeks, or months of their lives to make their time as comfortable and pleasant as possible by alleviating pain and becoming a friendly face during a time of need.
We treat every person with the utmost respect and dignity, aiming to create a comfortable and homely environment where health and well-being needs are met to the highest degree. We understand how difficult and emotional this time can be for residents and their families which is why our staff is always available to provide empathetic support.
