Located in the scenic town of Bearsden, Boclair Care Home provides expert Dementia Care within a warm, supportive setting. Alongside Residential, Nursing and Respite services, our home is thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of older people living with memory loss or cognitive conditions. With elegant surroundings and personalised plans, we aim to create a calm, enriching environment where residents can feel truly at home.
Dementia is a progressive condition that gradually impacts memory, reasoning, and daily functioning. In the earlier stages, this may show up as forgetfulness or confusion with time and place. As the condition develops, individuals often need more consistent support with routine activities, and eventually, round-the-clock care may become essential.
Dementia care homes like Boclair are purposefully designed to support individuals at every stage of their dementia journey. Depending on the level of need, families may consider either a residential care home or a nursing care home. Both offer safe, structured environments where trained staff deliver person-centred support.
Residential dementia care typically includes help with washing, dressing, taking medication, and gentle supervision throughout the day. For those with more complex needs, such as challenges with mobility or communication, a nursing care setting is often more suitable, as it provides 24-hour clinical support alongside dementia expertise.
At Boclair Care Home in Bearsden, we provide high-quality dementia care delivered by a compassionate and experienced team. We understand that no two people experience dementia in the same way, which is why we tailor our support to suit the individual needs, routines, and preferences of each resident. From the moment someone joins us, we work closely with them and their loved ones to build a care plan that promotes comfort, confidence, and familiarity.
Our home has been thoughtfully designed with dementia-friendly features that support safety and independence, such as clear signage, calming colours, and accessible layouts. Each resident has their own en-suite bedroom, which can be personalised with cherished items to create a sense of home. Outside of their rooms, residents can enjoy our private garden, cinema room, and a variety of meaningful activities that support cognitive stimulation and social engagement.
Situated in the picturesque suburb of Bearsden, Boclair Care Home benefits from a peaceful yet well-connected location just six miles from Glasgow city centre. Our residents have access to a range of local amenities including cafés, independent shops, and the popular Bearsden Cross. The town is rich in history and charm, with attractions like the Roman bath house and beautiful Victorian architecture scattered throughout the area. For those who enjoy a round of golf, Bearsden is home to several prestigious courses including The Glasgow Golf Club and Windyhill, while culture lovers can enjoy a stroll around Kilmardinny Loch Nature Reserve, complete with woodland trails and sculptures inspired by local author Julia Donaldson.
Inside our home, residents can take part in a variety of engaging activities such as our own sensory room, live entertainment, and pamper sessions in our on-site hair and beauty salon. We believe it’s just as important to get out and explore as it is to relax indoors, which is why we regularly organise trips into the local area. Whether it’s enjoying a picnic at the loch, visiting the local leisure centre, or heading into Glasgow for a day out with family, we support our residents in continuing to do the things they love. For those living with dementia, access to calm outdoor environments like Kilmardinny Loch can offer therapeutic benefits, helping to reduce anxiety and improve well-being.
