Our new dementia service opens this Autumn, we will update this page as soon as it's open.
Welcome to Wellen Court, Schoen Clinic York. Where specialist dementia care meets a warm, homely and welcoming environment. Our luxury residential care home with nursing is purpose-built and designed to ensure every resident enjoys the highest quality of life.
​
We understand that everyone has their own pace and preferences. Our inviting communal spaces are perfect for socialising with fellow residents, participating in activities, or spending time with family and friends. If you prefer a quieter, more private setting, our comfortable bedrooms provide a peaceful sanctuary, whenever you need it.​
​​
All 20 en-suite bedrooms are beautifully appointed with the highest quality furniture and designer-led soft furnishings. We blend a fit-for-purpose, safe environment (low window sills and wide opening doors), with a twist of style to create a very homely feel.
​
Our service offers expert care and support for people diagnosed with young-onset, mild, moderate or advanced dementia.
​
To ensure everyone can access our service who needs it, we welcome NHS, Local Authority, self-funding and privately insured patients (policy dependant).
​
We encourage residents to form meaningful relationships within a warm, family-like community. If you’re seeking a comfortable and supportive environment for dementia care, Wellen Court is a fine choice.

Dementia care services at Wellen Court.
Respite care for dementia.
Respite care enables individuals to maintain an active and fulfilling lifestyle with the reassurance
of knowing there is a well-trained care team on hand 24 hours a day, with care and support when needed.
Giving individuals and carers a well-deserved rest.
​
There is a whole host of activities on offer, so residents can relax and enjoy peace of mind, as can their loved ones.
Short-stay breaks.
Residents can enjoy all the benefits of Wellen Court for a few weeks at a time, maybe following a care crisis such as a fall or a spell in hospital.
Short breaks are a gentle way to trial our dementia care service, without the stress or fear of committing to a full-time move.
We like to think of these short breaks as an opportunity for people to get to know us, and for us to get to know them.
Dementia care.
Living with dementia doesn't mean people can't enjoy meaningful activity and a good quality of life.
Our service is designed to enable those living with dementia to be as independent and stress-free as possible.
Our team of staff are trained in the very best dementia care practices, enabling us to deliver individual care and support, personal to each resident.
Supporting people living with dementia in York.
Dementia is a progressive condition with several types and can affect people in different ways. The impact of dementia can be physical, emotional and psychological and have significant effects on all aspects of a person’s daily life, and that of their families and loved ones.
​
Our service offers expert care and support for people living with dementia, including young-onset, mild, moderate or advanced dementia.
We take a supportive, person-centred approach to caring for our residents and our service has been adapted to provide a calming environment, helping to reduce stress and anxiety while maintaining independence and dignity. We do this through:
​
-
Life skills: We offer support and encourage patients to take part in stimulating and meaningful activities to support their health and wellbeing, and maximise their independence for as long as possible.
-
Encouraging movement: We will support people to maintain their mobility and stay as active as possible.
-
Occupational therapy: We want to help people live well with dementia, by considering their physical, psychological, social and environmental needs.
-
A supportive culture and dedicated team: Our colleagues have undergone specialist training and we have invested heavily to ensure staffing levels meet or exceed national standards.
​
​Our skilled nursing staff are here to deliver an extra level of care and clinical advice for those who may need it. The nursing team pride themselves in delivering the highest standards of care, helping people maintain good mental and physical health.
Modern surroundings and comfortable accommodation.
We understand that creating a home away from home is essential for allowing individuals to take things at their own pace, build trust with our team and enjoy an enriched quality of life. That's why we've taken great steps to set up the right environments for our service users.
