Purpose


Dementia care

At Pilgrims’ Friend Society, we combine best practice in the field of dementia care with the spiritual understanding that those living with dementia can enjoy a happy and fulfilled life.

Our approach to dementia care is founded on the “Feelings Matter Most” framework and looks past a person’s immediate physical needs to their essence and spirit.

More about Finborough Court

The dining room and main lounge are both located on the first floor. There is a sensory room lounge located on the first floor and another smaller lounge and kitchenette on the lower ground floor, opening out onto a patio and garden, accessible via the passenger lift. Families are welcome to use these spaces when they visit, including if they wish to host special occasions for their loved one.

The secure, wheelchair-friendly landscaped garden, which has both paved and grassed areas, some raised flower beds and a relaxing water feature, is accessed from the main lounge.

The main lounge is used for several activities, including arts and crafts, as well as devotional services and communion.

Relatives and friends are welcome to visit at any time during the day and there is the opportunity for them to purchase a meal in the home if they wish to do so by prior arrangement.
