Dementia care in Birmingham

Dementia care is a positive alternative to residential care for someone living with dementia because it will keep them in their own home, surrounded by comforting and familiar objects, which can be a great help to someone whose memory isn’t as strong as it once was. This can be important for ensuring the person has the best quality of life possible before and after diagnosis, reducing anxiety and encouraging recall. Receiving professional care at home also reduces the strain on family members and allows you to continue the relationship you’ve always had with loved ones.

Dementia is an individualised condition, and the care your loved one receives should be individual too. Every person living with dementia deserves to be defined by what they and their family still want from life, not by dementia. After all, the person is still there, even though dementia may sometimes make it difficult to recognise that. There are over a hundred different types of dementia, so no two people’s journeys are going to be the same, and it’s clear that when planning care for a loved one, you need a care company who puts the person at the centre of their own care journey. Helping Hands can offer visiting care, perhaps for someone who is in the early stages of diagnosis, right up to full time live-in care in Birmingham if changes in condition demand it.
