Our dementia care home in Glasgow was founded on the principle that each person should be given every opportunity to live independently in a supportive and caring environment. We strive to ensure that residents with greater care needs, such as dementia, are able to make the most of their day by offering the appropriate level of support.
At Westerton Care Home, we pride ourselves on our specialised unit, Argyll Unit, dedicated to dementia care. This unit caters specifically to residents in advanced stages of dementia, distinguishing us from others in the field. Despite the challenging conditions our residents face, Argyll Unit offers a serene and tranquil environment, where personal care is paramount.
Our team at Argyll Unit is meticulously selected by our management, with Steven McDonald leading as the unit manager, bringing extensive experience in dementia care. Assisting him is Deputy Manager Lesley Fisher, a Dementia Champion with two decades of nursing and dementia care experience. Lesley spearheads an intensive training program aimed at empowering all staff members to excel in providing dementia care. This program covers various aspects, including stress and distress management and addressing everyday challenges encountered by individuals living with dementia.
