If you or your loved one has been diagnosed with dementia then you’re not alone – there are currently around 850,000 people living with the condition in the UK. Unfortunately, there is no known cure for dementia and the symptoms tend to advance and worsen over time. That said, plenty can be done to manage the symptoms and there is nothing to stop someone with dementia from living a safe and happy life. There is excellent support available to help people with dementia take back control and live life on their terms. At Helping Hands, we are experts in dementia care and our team has more than 30 years of experience supporting people with dementia. We believe that quality care is fundamental to maintaining a good quality of life with dementia. Our carers can help you and your family take back control and live on your terms, despite the challenges of dementia.
In some cases, care is not required in the early stages of dementia. However, the majority of people require some level of support as the condition progresses. You may notice that a loved one is becoming forgetful or finding their daily routines more difficult. This may cause you to become concerned for their health and wellbeing. In this situation, a professional carer can be brought in to provide assistance. Our carers can help your loved one in many different ways. This may involve assisting with their morning routines, preparing nutritious meals, administering medications, or accompanying them to appointments. Having this support will ensure that your loved one can continue to live a safe life while maintaining their independence.
People with dementia enjoy consistency and a change of scenery can be extremely unsettling and stressful. This is why so many families are choosing to care for their loved ones at home, instead of opting for a residential care facility. Our dementia home care services will allow your loved one to remain living at home, without the stress of moving to a new living environment.
