About
Dovebourne Care Home is a 66-bed home in Derby, East Midlands, offering residential, dementia and respite care. All of its bedrooms are en-suite, and residents have bright communal lounges, dining areas and landscaped gardens. The home has a café called The Salt Box, named after the eatery that previously occupied the site on the corner of Derby Road and Station Road.
Each bedroom has a Sensio RoomMate sensor system, which helps care staff recognise when a resident may need support without using cameras. Care plans are built around each resident's routines and preferences, and families are involved as partners in care. Dementia care includes memory-supporting activities and personalised routines, and respite stays receive the same standard of care as long-term residents.
