Our Dementia Care team have all undergone thorough, specialist dementia care training, helping them to assist with all aspects and levels of memory impairment, ensuring that each individual is treated with the utmost care and respect.

Our Activity Coordinators always prioritise making sure that our residents get the very best level of care and support, especially when it comes to fulfilling their social, mental, and emotional needs.

What is Dementia Care?

Dementia is a condition that affects several cognitive functions, including speech and memory.

Etive House Care Home recognises that no two people with dementia are alike and that while some may only require modest support with daily activities, others may require significantly more. Our dementia care is personalised to each individual, and our care home and teams provide the opportunity for residents to live in a home with a positive and comfortable atmosphere.

How Do You Know When it’s the Right Time to Receive Dementia Care?

Dementia can bring a variety of challenges to those who live with it, as well as their family carer or those who care for them. Dementia is a progressive syndrome, which means that the person with dementia will require more support and care as time goes on. If a person living with dementia has progressed to the point that they might require a slightly higher level of care and support than can be provided at home, they will need care from a care home with the right team. We are proud to be regulated by the Scottish Care Inspectorate, an independent regulator that inspects services within the social and care sector to ensure they are operating at a high standard.

It is important to us that we provide care and support not only to our residents but their friends and families too. We are here to offer advice and guidance to assist those seeking care make an informed decision as to whether we can offer the right care for you, and our Home Manager and care experts welcome the opportunity to help. Once a resident at Etive House Care Home, with the support of family and loved ones, the staff at can help to create an authentic picture of a resident’s life, ensuring that both medical and wellness care is considered and expertly handled.
