Does Perry Tree Centre provide dementia care?
Perry Tree Centre specialises in dementia care. This includes Alzheimer's disease support. The home is registered for this specialism.
How do we score dementia-specialist homes differently?
We do not treat the phrase 'dementia care' on its own as proof of quality. On RightCareHome, dementia-specialist homes are checked more carefully for dementia-specific fit signals such as whether dementia care is registered, whether secure or wandering support is clearly published, whether nursing cover is available when needs are more complex, and whether inspection or family feedback supports that positioning. If wandering support is not clear in the public data, that becomes a follow-up question rather than a positive signal.
