Can we care for someone with dementia at home?

Daily routines and familiar surroundings reduce stress and anxiety for those living with dementia which is why we believe care at home is so beneficial. Our tailored in-home service revolves entirely around our clients and what is best for them, with access to all the day to day support they need. Fully managed care is available 24/7, 365 days of the year with access to our emergency call-out service.

Caring for someone with dementia is time consuming and for someone with more complex dementia, an hour or two a day will be unlikely to solve any problems. We know that very often a lot more input than normal is required to take care of individuals with dementia, but the rewards are there when a care package is put together with the sole aim of providing a client with the company and care they need, not just to live well, but to thrive! We are specialists in this area and we can work closely with you, to help you learn more about what sort of care will be required.

In-home care services available:

  • Consistent companionship (reading the newspaper, playing games, taking exercise)
  • Support with outings (grocery food shopping, hospital appointments, walks)
  • Help around the house (laundry, vacuuming, dusting)
  • Home-based activities (cooking, baking, gardening)
  • Support at social events (family gatherings, clubs, religious services)
  • Personal hygiene (assistance with washing and getting dressed)
  • Health and well-being (support with medications and exercise)
  • Personal administration (help with forms, letters, paying bills)

Benefits

  • Remain independent at home
  • Continue with existing routines 
  • Enjoy companionship and peace of mind

There are only a few things in our line of work more rewarding than seeing our clients with dementia live out their lives to the full, in complete happiness and contentment, as a result of robust, reliable and consistent care arrangements. We also find great satisfaction in seeing the positive effect it has on families too, who, with a care arrangement in place, can enjoy spending quality time with a loved one. We know that building long term and meaningful relationships with clients and their families is crucial to successful care.
