new concept in residential and
nursing in Darlington.
Out by the airport and just behind the

Communities Care Centre.
Fifty-something wife and mother Auguste
Deter was the very first person to be given
the diagnosis of Alzheimer's-type dementia.
While it’s unlikely you’ve ever heard of
Auguste, you will know someone living with
dementia or a related condition.
Prestige Group’s care philosophy is to
find the person before they see the disease.
“Our care is honouring the memory of Frau
Deter,” says director Paul Smith. “As such, we
see personhood and its preservation as our
aim.”
At the specially designed care centre, set
within safe, secure and extensive dementia-
friendly gardens and grounds, you will find
four distinct living areas. Each boasts the
latest retro design and incorporates Dutch
technology to offer stimulating, orientating
and comforting surroundings, together
with single en suite rooms with eight corner
rooms where couples can live their days

Paul explains: “We specialise in the care
of those living with a dementia or those
reaching end of life but we will also be
offering general nursing facilities and we also
offer respite, day care and holiday bookings.”

Auguste Communities are registered
with Darlington Council for local authority
funding, and regulated and registered with
the Care Quality Commission (CQC). They
also boast a five-star local authority rated
kitchen.
