Client Group

St Pirans is a 14 bedded intensive support service for working age and older adults who have a primary diagnosis of dementia alongside challenging behavioural issues. Many of the individuals who we support have co-morbid mental health needs or additional complex needs, including behaviour which challenges the provision of their care and support. The service offered by St Pirans is split in to two discrete environments; a six bedded all male area and an eight bedded area able to accommodate individuals of either gender.

Our approach to care

We aim to ensure individuals receive person-centred, outcome focused care which aims to support individuals to achieve their optimum potential by maintaining existing skills for living with their condition and where possible acquiring new competencies, which enable individuals to step-down to less intensive models of support.
