At Ty Cariad Dementia Care Centre in Abergele, North Wales, we believe our care should feel warm, social and comfortable for our residents.
Creating a Dementia-Friendly Social Space
The Ty Cariad Café is designed to provide a welcoming, relaxed and non-clinical environment where residents with their families can spend some quality time together. Rather than feeling like a traditional care setting, the café creates a familiar and comfortable space where our elderly can socialise, enjoy music and share meaningful conversations, while making this a part of their daily life.
For people living with dementia, maintaining social interaction and routine plays a vital role in emotional well-being. The café helps restore a sense of normality and reduces the institutional feel often associated with care environments, supporting a more positive and enriching daily experience.
Supporting Families and Strengthening Relationships
Choosing a dementia care home is not only a big decision for residents, but also for their families. At Ty Cariad, we understand how important it is to provide opportunities for loved ones to spend quality time together.
The café has quickly become a central part of life within the home, helping families feel more connected and reassured. Dedicated sessions are also being developed to give family members the chance to share experiences, access emotional support and build relationships with others on a similar journey.
Expanding the Ty Cariad Cafe in 2026
Due to its growing popularity and increasing attendance, we are excited that the Ty Cariad Café will expand from twice-weekly sessions to a daily opening in 2026.
The Importance of Person-Centred Dementia Care
Our approach to person-centred dementia care in North Wales focuses on emotional wellbeing, meaningful activity and strong relationships. Initiatives like the Ty Cariad Café help reduce loneliness and isolation for residents and relatives while strengthening connections with the local community.
