B&M Care

B&M Care Understanding Starts HerešŸŒ¹
Residential | Dementia | Respite

Founded in 1975 by B&M Care Chairman Bill Hughes, B&M Care is a ā€˜family run business for familiesā€™ 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 excepti

onal care within enabling, high-quality environments, resulting in a strong foothold in the private care sector. Delivered in-line with B&M Careā€™s Rose Model of Dementia Care and overall person-centred ethos is a commitment to upholding a personā€™s dignity, autonomy and freedom to lead a fulfilling lifestyle through bespoke day-to-day care practice that looks at an individualā€™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 personā€™s relationship with life both in and outside of their environment. As a specialist within the dementia care sector, B&M Careā€™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 Careā€™s signature ā€˜Living Well with Dementia Seminarā€™ and month-to-month ā€˜Memory Cafesā€™, as well as Second Wind DreamsĀ® Virtual Dementia Tour: a ground-breaking experience that was launched in the UK at B&M Careā€™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 ā€“ whether itā€™s through continued staff training or embedding innovation at the centre of our approach ā€“ we are proud to be recognised as a chosen provider that makes a positive difference to the lives of those living in our care.

With the warmer weather finally here, our residents have been making the most of the sunshine with gentle walks through the gardens, taking time to notice all the little signs of spring appearing around us.

This week we discovered blooming lilac, fragrant rosemary, delicate forget-me-notsā€¦ and even a few friendly ladybirds along the way šŸž

After our walks, everyone gathered in the cosy comfort of Rosaā€™s Cottage for tea, biscuits, and plenty of conversation. Sharing stories, admiring flowers picked from the garden, and simply enjoying each otherā€™s company made for such a lovely afternoon.

Our residents enjoyed a truly lovely trip to Lindengate, where they explored the charityā€™s beautiful six-acre gardens, planted sunflower seeds to bring back home, and spent meaningful time together surrounded by nature šŸŒ»

From wandering through the peaceful pathways and admiring the colorful flowers, to tasting freshly picked green beans kindly shared with us during the visit, every moment felt special.

Looks can be deceivingā€¦ and this one had us all fooled! šŸŽÆ

Our plate-and-ball challenge looked simple at first, guide the ball through the hole and land it perfectly into the cupā€¦ easy, right?

Not quite! What started as a ā€œthis will be quickā€ game soon turned into a room full of laughter, focus, and a few happy tears as everyone gave it their best shot.

Near misses, surprise wins, and lots of cheering each other on it quickly became a proper carnival moment right here at home

Weā€™re proud to share that B&M Care has acquired a new build development site in Knaphill, Woking marking our expansion into a sixth county across England. šŸŒ¹

While this is an exciting milestone for us as a group, what matters most is that we continue to grow in the right way carefully, sustainably, and always with people at the heart of what we do.

Remaining a family-owned business means we can stay close to what matters most: delivering compassionate, person-centre care, which starts with the building of new care homes that are designed around wellbeing, dignity, and quality of life.

The new 74-bedroom care home in Surrey will provide residential and dementia care for both permanent stays and respite stays, and will include thoughtfully designed communal spaces including a cafƩ, cinema, hair salon, gym, landscaped gardens, and more.

The care home has been carefully designed around the natural setting and is being built to very high energy standards, including the use of heat pump technology and solar PV to minimise our reliance on fossil fuels.

To all of our residents, relatives, teams, and communities thank you for being part of our journey. As we grow across six counties, our commitment remains the same: compassion, commitment, and connection in every home we create.

We look forward to sharing more updates as the development progresses!

Looking rather dapper, you can't deny!

Pain isnā€™t always easy to communicate, especially for those living with dementia. šŸŒ¹

Thatā€™s why Osbourne Court Care Home is proud to now be using PainChekĀ®, an innovative AI-powered pain assessment tool designed to help identify and monitor pain in residents who may struggle to verbalise how theyā€™re feeling.

Using intelligent facial recognition alongside clinical indicators, PainChekĀ® helps the Osbourne team build more personalised pain profiles, supporting faster interventions, more informed care decisions, and ultimately greater comfort and wellbeing for residents.

The technology supports the highest standards of compassionate, person-centred care.

The van rolls up, the music playsā€¦ and suddenly loads of beautiful memories come back!šŸ¦

Smiles all round at St Leonards tonight as residents enjoyed classic cones with a flake, a simple treat that brought back the sweetest memories. Eyes lit up, stories flowed, and for a moment, time stood still.

A heartfelt thank you to Frank & Sandra for making it so special.

Sunshine, match day energy, and a squad full of superstars āš½ļø

From silky footwork to top-corner finishes and world-class saves, our residents were putting in a performance worthy of the big leagues. The crowd (and the sunshine) were loving every minute.

Ned was the star of the show at St Brendans today šŸ¾

From the moment he arrived, he was showered with attention, enjoying every cuddle, stroke, and friendly face that came his way.

There were smiles all around as residents spent time with him, sharing gentle moments and plenty of affection. Visits like this bring such a lovely sense of calm and happiness to the home šŸ’›

Roles reversed in the most beautiful way šŸ«‚ā¤ļø

Today, Kevin took Amber, our wonderful home manager, under his wing as they explored the community. With such natural kindness, Kevin gently pushed Amber in the wheelchair, making sure she was comfortable every step of the way.

You could see just how proud he was looking after her Kevin really admires Amber, and that connection shone through in every smile they shared. His joy in caring for someone else was completely infectious.

Itā€™s moments like this that remind us care isnā€™t one-directional itā€™s built on connection, trust, and the simple joy of looking after one another šŸ’™
