Penrose Court is proud to be a dementia care home in Bedfordshire that is designed to provide a secure, caring, and friendly environment for those with dementia.
Our staff are fully trained to understand dementia and we take pride in providing the highest levels of care and respect for every individual. Through daily planned activities, social and mental stimulation and interaction, frustrations, and tensions linked with dementia are relieved.
Dementia care often only focuses on the illness and accompanying loss of function rather than the person themselves. This worsens the problem and leads to much frustration and stress. People living with dementia respond far better when their care promotes their independence and affords them dignity and respect.
At our dementia care home in Biggleswade, we acknowledge that no two people are the same, some individuals will only require minor support, while others will need considerably more. Our person centered approach to care, is designed to foster a sense of person and independence as long as possible.
Our compassionate team of specialists are trained in how to communicate effectively to help residents living with dementia express their needs and wishes. At Penrose Court we offer a range of facilities to help our residents live independently, in an environment that is going to be comfortable and stimulating for them. We can give unrivalled care to our dementia residents because of our extensive understanding and expertise in working with people with memory loss. There is not just one solution when it comes to supporting people with dementia, this is why at Penrose Court our dementia care plans are unique to each and every person’s requirements, as well as the wants and views of their friends and family.
We understand that choosing the right residential care home can be daunting for everyone involved. That’s why at Penrose Court, our specialist care team is trained in the most recent dementia research and approaches, so you can be confident that your loved one is receiving the highest quality of care.

We’ve given great thought to how the environment at Penrose Court affects our residents living with dementia, right down to how it’s laid out and designed. We recognise that people living with dementia may see the world differently than we do. As a result, we scrutinise every detail of our residential space from bedrooms to communal areas. From colour to materials to lighting, there’s a lot to consider.
Dementia poses unique and ever-changing challenges for those living with the condition, for their loved ones, and for their carers. Dealing with these can be stressful and emotionally challenging for all concerned. A dementia care home can help those living with dementia and their loved ones by providing them with a supportive environment where they can receive around-the-clock care and encouragement to continue with their routine whilst pursuing new interests.
Together with family and loved ones we get to know our residents in order to create an accurate picture of their life – in order to ensure their ongoing happiness, comfort, and wellbeing. Our open visiting hours mean that residents’ families are welcome at all times.
