A dementia diagnosis can be devastating, but it doesn’t have to force you to leave your home and move to a residential nursing home. Specialist dementia home care from your friendly East Sussex care team involves our carers coming to your home and providing you with dedicated one-to-one support. With many types of dementia, staying at home can help to manage symptoms such as heightened confusion and anxiety, and it can also provide a better base for family and friends to offer support. Dementia care at home also means you’ll have more control over your care plan, and you’ll get help in all the areas you need it most. At Helping Hands, we offer nurse-led, CQC-regulated dementia care for people with varying needs, symptoms and wishes.
Dementia care is often a lifeline to those living with a type of dementia who are no longer able to manage by themselves or within the support of loved ones. Traditionally at this stage of life, one might have opted to move into a care home. However, care at home provides a much more attractive alternative, where you’re able to remain in the familiar, comforting surroundings of the family home and receive dedicated, one-to-one support from an expertly-trained carer.
Every dementia patient’s journey is completely unique, so we personalise your loved one’s dementia care to their personal needs and preferences to ensure they’re always receiving the right level of support. Your local care manager in Kent will sit down with your loved one and the family to gain a full understanding of their circumstances and how we can best support them, and we’ll design a care plan that allows them to continue living life on their own terms as much as possible. And, should their care needs change, we’ll monitor their condition so that we can proactively adapt their support to meet their requirements.
At Helping Hands, we’re extremely proud of our wonderful carers. They truly are our most valuable asset, and constantly go above and beyond to ensure every customer receives the exceptional support they’ve come to expect from Helping Hands. We only hire the kindest, most compassionate people to our care teams, as we believe these qualities are essential in anyone who is responsible for the physical and emotional wellbeing of others, and all of our carers undergo thorough background checks. Then, when they start with our East Sussex team, every single one of our carers receives specialist dementia care training, which equips them to provide a wide range of services to people with varying needs.
