Dementia has a huge impact on both the individual diagnosed, and the family and loved ones of that person, but it is important to remember that plenty can be done to support those living with the condition. Many people diagnosed with dementia continue to live independent, happy, and fulfilled lives with the right support in place.
The symptoms of dementia vary greatly from person to person and can change rapidly over a short space of time. People often display a range of different physical and behavioural changes depending on what stage the condition is at. This can make caring for the needs of someone with dementia complex and difficult without the right level of training on dementia care.
A change of routine and environment can be very stressful for someone living with dementia. With a perfectly tailored nursing care plan, your loved one can get the proper support they require at home, surrounded by their familiar comforts, instead of going through the stress and upheaval of moving into a residential home.
Familiarity and continuity are essential aspects of dementia care. Care agencies and residential homes often use agency staff which could mean your loved one could be receiving support from a different carer every day of the week. At Helping Hands all of our carers are directly employed, which guarantees your continuity of carer.
Your home care package will be tailored to your exact needs, and adapted as time goes on to suit your changing needs. We can provide visiting care for as little as 30 minutes a week, up to full-time live-in care in Aylesbury for higher, or more continual needs.
People diagnosed with dementia may not require any care in the early stages, but people often require support as the condition advances. It is important that a person living with dementia is provided with the right level of care and support, so that they can continue to carry out their daily routine as safely as possible.
Dementia care includes:
We know that dementia is a challenging condition, not just for the person who is affected, but by the loved ones who surround that individual.
