Bluebell Unit
Bluebell Unit supports older working-age adults (50+) with a primary neurological diagnosis, such as brain injury, dementia, or Parkinson’s disease, alongside one or more secondary diagnoses or co-morbidities that present needs beyond the scope of mainstream care providers.
Due to the progressive nature of these conditions, individuals on Bluebell often require advanced care planning, as well as palliative and end-of-life care to ensure dignity and comfort.
Bluebell has a strong history of supporting people who’ve experienced one or more failed placements, often due to significant behaviours of concern, providing stability, consistency, and person-centred interventions to meet their changing needs.
The relaxed environment is ideal for those sensitive to sensory overload which may lead to increased agitation or confusion.
Foxglove Unit
Foxglove Unit supports older adults (60+) with a primary dementia diagnosis, alongside a secondary brain injury and/or mental health diagnosis.
Trained in positive behaviour support, the team has the skills to support those who present with significant behaviours of concern.
Due to the progressive nature of dementia, individuals on Foxglove require advanced care planning, as well as palliative and end-of-life care to ensure dignity and comfort.
They may also experience limited mobility and/or physical disabilities, requiring access to specialist aids and equipment to support their daily living needs.
The environment is thoughtfully designed in line with the University of Stirling’s ‘Environments for Ageing and Dementia Design Assessment Tool (EADDAT),’ creating a space that promotes comfort, independence, and overall wellbeing.
