At Rosebank Care Home, activities and therapies are a normal part of everyday life for our residents. Our dementia activities are developed to offer gentle stimulation, familiar routines and opportunities to stay engaged in a way that feels both comfortable and enjoyable.
As part of our dementia care therapy in Oxfordshire, residents can take part in sessions that suit their interests and abilities. This might be creative, social or simply something that feels calming and familiar — whether they are living with early-stage dementia or more advanced Alzheimer’s disease. All activities and therapies are delivered by team members trained in dementia care, with experience supporting residents affected by Alzheimer’s-related memory loss and cognitive change.
Types of Dementia We Support
Rosebank Care Home provides care for several forms of dementia. Our dementia care therapy in Oxfordshire is developed around each diagnosis, as different conditions can affect memory and communication in their own way. We support…
Alzheimer’s disease
The Rosebank dementia team create solid, familiar routines and reminiscence work that are incredibly beneficial for staying oriented and feeling settled.
Vascular dementia
Activities are carefully paced, and our carers monitor fatigue or changes in concentration.
Lewy body dementia
We provide calm spaces and gentle relief that can make everyday life much easier to manage, especially during more confusing periods.
Frontotemporal dementia
Our trained staff focus closely on personal history and consistent approaches to help with changes in behaviour.
Feel free to arrange a visit to Rosebank to meet our staff and experience our fantastic facilities.
Supporting Life at Our Dementia’s Care Home
Daily life at Rosebank is shaped around four key areas that support wellbeing, independence, and familiarity — all adapted to each resident’s individual needs and stage of dementia.
Cognitive & Therapeutic Sessions
Our sessions gently stimulate memory, encourage communication and support everyday confidence within our Alzheimer’s care home. Examples include:
Music sessions – informal singing, familiar playlists and calming music to encourage reminiscence and reduce anxiety.
Creative activities – small art or craft projects that encourage concentration and steady hand movements at a relaxed pace.
Reminiscence work – our reminiscence spaces, memory boxes and themed corridors help our residents connect with past experiences that feel reassuring.
Use of the sensory room – a calmer setting with soft light and tactile objects, particularly helpful when a resident needs a quieter space.
Individual engagement – time spent one-to-one, whether that’s looking through personal photographs or concentrating on something familiar from home
Social Engagement & Community Interaction
Social interaction plays an important role in everyday life at our Alzheimer’s care home, helping residents feel connected, valued, and supported. We offer a range of opportunities that foster belonging, including:
✓ Informal social gatherings, including coffee mornings, small group chats and visiting entertainers
✓ Lighter group activities like quizzes, bingo or craft tables for residents who enjoy shared involvement
✓ Regular outings to local cafes, garden centres, theatres or nearby village locations, keeping residents connected with the wider community
✓ Seasonal events, including birthday celebrations and family visits, which create familiarity throughout the year
✓ Opportunities for gentle volunteering-style roles such as helping water plants or setting tables, where appropriate, to support purpose and routine
Physical Wellbeing & Movement
Rosebank supports physical health as an essential part of dementia care, with movement being part of the day in a gentle, manageable way — and always matched to our resident’s abilities and confidence. Examples include:
Chair-based movement sessions – gentle movement that aids with general mobility and circulation without putting strain on joints
Short, supported walks – time spent walking in the secure garden or around the home, with trained staff on hand for reassurance and balance support.
Everyday movement built into routine – walking to the dining room, helping to lay tables or spending time outdoors, rather than relying only on formal exercise classes.
Balance and mobility support – staff use safe techniques to assist with standing and walking, with extra attention for residents at higher risk of falls.
Calming physical activities – gentle tasks such as watering plants or light gardening for residents who enjoy being outdoors.
Personalised Daily Routines
Routines at Rosebank are based on what your loved one is used to.
Long-established habits help days feel calmer and more recognisable within our Alzheimer’s care home. Small details, such as preferred meal times, quiet periods, or favourite daily rituals are carefully woven into everyday life.
These details are naturally placed into daily life as part of our dementia activities and dementia care therapy in Oxfordshire. We work to ensure the day feels comfortable and recognisable, and for our residents to feel settled with people they know and trust.
A Personal Approach to Dementia Activities
At Rosebank, activities will be a natural part of each resident’s care plan within our Alzheimer’s care home. Our dedicated dementia care team considers personal history, interests, abilities and level of dementia when creating daily routines that contribute to the cognitive, social and physical well-being of our residents. Our facilities are also set up to support residents living with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, helping them feel confident moving around the home.
Some residents join group sessions and others prefer a quieter time. That’s why we offer different options throughout the week and each resident is encouraged to join in at their own pace.
All activities and therapies are delivered by team members trained in dementia care. You can read more about staff training and qualifications in our dementia expertise section.
