Dementia is an ‘umbrella’ condition, that describes the cognitive decline that comes with most of the different forms of dementia, the most common of which is Alzheimer’s disease. Dementia is life-limiting and progressive, but that doesn’t mean you can’t live well after your diagnosis, far from it. Our dedicated care teams across England and Wales are passionate about ensuring you live your best life possible with dementia in the home you love, and our fantastic Lowestoft care team are definitely no exception.
Remaining in your own home to receive dementia care is highly beneficial for both your emotional and physical wellbeing. This is because when you stay in familiar surroundings with people, pets and possessions around you that stir memories of a life well-lived, you’ll feel naturally more relaxed, with confusion and anxiety reduced.
When Helping Hands provide you with care at home on either a visiting-care or a live-in-care basis, you can be assured that you’ll always have care of the very highest standards. Visiting care means you’ll be supported from 30 minutes per week up to as many visits as you need, at prearranged times and durations to suit you. Perhaps you’d prefer to have someone in your home with you around the clock, which is where live-in care is perfect. Both services will provide care and companionship and support you with your everyday routine, including personal care, medication, meal preparation, laundry, housework, mobility and accessing the local community.
Because our carers mean the world to us we know they’ll mean the same to you, which is why we look after them so well throughout their employment, as we know they’ll pass that on to every one of their customers. We prudently select our carers from so many applicants because we want to know that the people we choose have naturally high personal qualities of compassion and empathy, which they’ll display in their work. Because we also need to be sure that you’re safe in your home though we thoroughly check the background of everyone who joins us and screen them through the DBS too. Finally, you and your loved ones can be reassured that our standards will always be consistently high because we’re fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission and Care Inspectorate Wales.
