B&M Care

B&M Care Understanding Starts Here🌹
Residential | Dementia | Respite

Founded in 1975 by B&M Care Chairman Bill Hughes, B&M Care is a ā€˜family run business for families’ that has established a longstanding success story that continues to develop its person-centred approach to improving the lives of those living with a dementia. With the support of a forward-thinking Board of Directors and Senior Management team, B&M Care has created a benchmark for delivering exceptional care within enabling, high-quality environments, resulting in a strong foothold in the private care sector. Delivered in-line with B&M Care’s Rose Model of Dementia Care and overall person-centred ethos is a commitment to upholding a person’s dignity, autonomy and freedom to lead a fulfilling lifestyle through bespoke day-to-day care practice that looks at an individual’s uniqueness, rather than their physical or cognitive capacity. This approach is further complimented with a responsibility to delivering a comprehensive programme of meaningful engagement for the sole purpose of meeting the physical, psychological, social and cultural needs and interests of every individual living in a B&M Care Home. Within each of our homes is a seven-day-a-week engagement schedule comprising of both home-based and in-the-community initiatives to better support a person’s relationship with life both in and outside of their environment. As a specialist within the dementia care sector, B&M Care’s knowledge and practice extends beyond the immediacy of our homes with an ongoing commitment to developing, supporting, and ultimately sustaining a dementia-friendly community within each of our care home locations. This approach consists of a number of events, including B&M Care’s signature ā€˜Living Well with Dementia Seminar’ and month-to-month ā€˜Memory Cafes’, as well as Second Wind DreamsĀ® Virtual Dementia Tour: a ground-breaking experience that was launched in the UK at B&M Care’s Ashlyns Care Home in Berkhamsted in 2016 to offer participants (including B&M Care staff members) insight into what it feels like to live with a dementia. Further to this, B&M Care operates an open-door policy for visitors and family caregivers to seek dementia-specific information to better support them when caring for a loved one living with a dementia at home. Here at B&M Care, we are proud to be at the forefront of the dementia care sector, and with an ongoing commitment to enhancing our care practice – whether it’s through continued staff training or embedding innovation at the centre of our approach – we are proud to be recognised as a chosen provider that makes a positive difference to the lives of those living in our care.

Out in the community with Eme and the team for a Wenzel’s stop, chats that lasted longer than planned, coffees that didn’t stay hot for long. There were hugs, laughs, plenty of people-watching, and the shared agreement that getting out and about together makes even an ordinary day feel like a good one. ā˜•šŸŒ¹

A very cold start to a lovely morning at Lidengate Memory Pathway. We spotted the first snowdrops pushing through, then the sun made a welcome appearance.

Fresh air, gentle walks, crafts, singing, friendships and of course hot drinks with biscuits to warm us through 🌹

It feels like you can almost hear the whispers, can’t you 🄰
Those quiet exchanges, shared smiles and little laughs are where the magic really lives. It’s in these unscripted moments that connection shines brightest 🌹

Residents at The Chadwick came together to enjoy a winter celebration filled with music, warmth, and shared moments.

For people living with dementia, familiar sounds and gentle rhythms can feel reassuring helping people relax, feel connected, and simply enjoy being together. It was a calm, joyful afternoon where comfort came first and everyone could take part in their own way ā„ļøšŸŽ¶

A garden doesn’t start with soil... it starts with thought.

Pens out, ideas shared, pauses to picture how it will feel.
Choosing thornless roses, favourite plants, the sound of water, and where each element should sit.

Gentle planning, careful decisions, and growing excitement as everything begins to take shape for St Brendans sensory garden. šŸ“šŸŒ¹

šŸ“ó §ó ¢ó ³ó £ó “ó æBagpipes filled the room, Scottish songs had everyone clapping along. White Plains celebrated Burns Night; a Scottish tradition that celebrates the life and poetry of Robert Burns, bringing people together through music, food and storytelling.

It was a joy to share that spirit with our residents. Our chef Joe fully embraced the occasion with a Burns Night–inspired menu, good people, music and food. Perfect way to celebrate. 🌹

Residents at The Lodge enjoyed another wonderfully active day, full of movement, music, and shared moments 🌹

The morning began with armchair exercises, followed by quizzes and a lively music session, before the afternoon brought a real treat as the Stomp Band arrived quickly turning the room into a joyful singalong. It made the day even more special as we celebrated Tina’s birthday together.

St Brendans enjoyed a baking session today; aprons on and straight into the fun 🌹

There’s something special about baking together, and today it was delicious fruit buns, fresh from the oven and enjoyed with a proper cup of tea this afternoon.

Music has a way of cutting straight through the day, it wakes us up, lifts the room, and brings everyone together in the moment. Today’s live performance at Milford Lodge from our friends at filled the Orangery with energy, rhythm, and shared smiles šŸŽ¼

Sylvia summed it up perfectly: ā€œVery good! I thoroughly enjoyed it,ā€ while Eric and Ron said it was ā€œthe best entertainment in years.ā€
