Live-in care empowers those with dementia to lead as fulfilling a life as ever.
Dementia is a collection of symptoms which affects mental processes in a number of ways, from impaired communication to memory loss.
With the right care and attention, those living with dementia can have the opportunity to continue to live their life to the fullest – continuing with their favourite activities, remaining in their home and enjoying time with their friends and family.
With a live-in carer, your loved one has someone on hand to help them manage their condition night and day. All in the comfort, security and familiarity of a home they’ve always known.
What is dementia care?
Dementia care is a specialist support system which is designed to support those living with dementia – it is provided by carers who are experienced and trained in caring for someone with dementia.
Dementia care refers to caring for all conditions defined as dementia – such as Alzheimher’s, Lewy Body Dementia, Vascular Dementia and Combined. It covers care for these conditions at all stages.
Specialist dementia care is practical and beneficial to those living with dementia as it provides targeted assistance in the form of activities and therapies such as reminiscence therapy, dietary adjustments, physical activity and support for challenging behaviour and sundowning.
Some of the most common early symptoms, which are often present before a formal diagnosis, are:
- Difficulty concentrating
- Confusion – around daily tasks and times/dates
- Memory loss
- Struggling to follow a conversation
- Mood changes
