Shortlisted for Best Dementia Care Design
We’re delighted to share some wonderful news. Cotswold Gate Care Home, part of Porthaven Care Homes, has been named a Finalist in the Best Dementia Care Design category at the Healthcare Design Awards.
As the interior designers behind this project, we’re incredibly proud to have helped shape an environment designed to support dignity, independence and wellbeing for people living with dementia.
The Healthcare Design Awards celebrate innovation and excellence in the design of healthcare facilities and care homes. Being shortlisted in a dementia-specific category shines a light on something we believe deeply; design is never “just aesthetics” in a dementia care setting.
Thoughtful interiors can help people feel calmer, more confident, and more like themselves, because the right environment reduces friction in everyday life. It supports routines, strengthens a sense of familiarity, and helps residents navigate their world with greater ease.
The Healthcare Design Awards ceremony is scheduled to take place on 12th February 2026 at London Hilton on Park Lane. Whatever the final result, being shortlisted is already something we’ll celebrate because it reflects a shared commitment to raising the standard of environments for people living with dementia.
