What does dementia care at home include?
Dementia care at home includes a range of specialist services designed to meet the unique needs of those living with dementia. It focuses on maintaining a high quality of life within a familiar and comfortable environment, while providing essential support for both the individual and their loved ones. Unlike a care home, private homecare offers a heightened level of familiarity and comfort, which helps to reduce anxiety and confusion.

Our dedicated team of highly trained nurses and carers provides a comprehensive and personalised approach to dementia care. We understand the significant emotional, social, and psychological effects that living with dementia can have.

FAQ
As a dementia caregiver, your responsibilities in managing daily tasks for your loved one will increase as their dementia symptoms advances. It is important to consider practical tips that can help the person with dementia participate as much as possible and enable you to manage tasks effectively. This includes establishing a daily routine, communicating effectively, providing choices, reducing distractions, learning more about the condition and taking care of yourself as a caregiver.
These steps can help to reduce confusion, anxiety, and social isolation for the person with dementia and reduce caregiver stress.
As dementia progresses, individuals may require increasing levels of care and support. If you find yourself struggling to provide the same level of care for your loved one as before, it may be an indication that it is time for them to receive 24-hour homecare or a transition to either nursing or a care home.
Difficulties with daily activities, such as bathing, dressing, meal preparation, or housekeeping, may also suggest the need for dementia homecare. Other signs that may point towards the need for care include forgetfulness, confusion, wandering, agitation, or social isolation.
There are several types of care that can be arranged when looking at dementia or Alzheimer’s care:
Homecare: This can offer a variety of support, depending on the needs of your loved ones. Whether at the initial or later stages of dementia, private homecare will provide personalised care in the comfort of your home.
Live-in care: This is usually for when at the later stages of dementia as carers and nurses will be present at all times, including overnight care.
Nursing and care homes: These are usually looked at as a last resort for families, which is completely understandable as at times, your loved ones require more care and support than you can offer.
The condition is complex, with the symptoms ranging from one person to the other. Some of the early warning signs are memory loss, confusion, changes in personality, difficulty in performing daily activities and difficulty concentrating.
Whether it is you or your loved ones, getting a dementia diagnosis can be very scary and intimidating. However, there are a wealth of information available to you, such as How to care for someone with dementia?
In the digital age, there are a variety of apps and devices that can help those living with dementia as well as other conditions. Assistive technology for dementia can help improve or maintain the ability to do daily activities. It can support someone with the condition with stimulating senses and memory, connect with family and friends and detect early signs of dementia or Alzheimer’s.
