Benefits of Dementia Care
A care home cannot offer the same levels of familiarity and comfort that private homecare can. The key benefit to having dementia home care is the ability to receive specialist care in the comfort of your own home. This allows the person living with dementia to maintain their regular routine. Staying in a familiar environment can impact one’s well-being as it reduces anxiety and confusion while improving cognitive function, memory retention and awareness. People with dementia can experience memory loss. Thus, the ability to stay in their own home will reduce stress as they are in an environment where their memories, pets and family are.
Dementia homecare allows for a higher level of personalised care, ongoing companionship, safety and support, while allowing individuals to maintain their dignity, independence and quality of life.
