A Specialist Home for Dementia Care
Woodlands House creates a rare environment for this group of people in friendly surroundings, with the emphasis on freedom from social pressures.
This freedom enables a person with dementia to express him/herself as they are now and not as others would like them to be.
This light atmosphere can be felt upon entering Woodlands along with a warm welcome.
