Our fully-trained workers will visit the persons home and spend time with the person requiring care.
Our workers will offer all aspects of home care, for example, personal care, social support, and facilitating basic tasks like making a meal or going out. For family and friends, this additional support allows time away from the loved one to catch up with their own needs.
The carer is often a welcome contact providing the person with a new face who understands the condition and the varied way it presents.
For a person suffering from dementia, any changes to routine or surroundings can be intimidating and confusing. Families and local authorities will often choose care in the persons home as a preferred option, especially in the early days living with dementia.
Following regular patterns with a carer helps to improve confidence and has additional benefits. For example, taking regular walks with a caregiver may improve communication skills, help maintain mobility and may forestall wandering.
Calming music may decrease wandering and restlessness, ease anxiety and improve sleep and behaviour.
People with dementia ought to have their eyes and ears checked regularly. If issues are found, hearing aids, glasses, or cataract surgery may be required.
People with dementia should have regular driving tests. For some, it will not be safe for them to still drive. Having driven for many years this loss of independence may be difficult to accept.
Ready meals, prepared and supervised by carers help to facilitate a balanced diet. Individuals with dementia typically forget to eat and drink and may become dehydrated and lose weight as a result. It may also be necessary to supplement their diet with snacks and drinks containing extra calories and vitamins. For example yoghurt and a tasty piece of fruit cake.
