Dementia care in Newcastle-under-Lyme

Traditionally, people requiring care for types of dementia have opted to move to a residential nursing home or hospice. However, an increasing number of dementia patients are now instead deciding to stay at home to receive specialist one-on-one dementia support. Staying at home means you’ll get to remain in an environment that is comforting and familiar to you. This can often help to ease symptoms of many types of dementia – most notably a heightened sense of confusion and anxiety. Dementia care at home also gives you more control over the type and level of care that you receive – you’ll get to determine how many hours of care you want, and your carer will be able to spend more time helping you out with the things you need most support with.

When it comes to a complex condition such as dementia, we know that every individual’s care needs will be completely unique to them. That’s why, from your very first phone call to our lovely team, we’ll make sure your requirements and preferences are at the heart of every decision that’s taken regarding your care. It might be that your dementia is affecting a particular aspect of your life, such as your memory, and need your dementia carer to assist with specific memory-aiding activities, or maybe you struggle with mobility and need friendly, discreet help with bathing, dressing and toileting. Whatever your circumstances, your Helping Hands care plan will always be designed first and foremost around you.

We’re extremely proud of our wonderful carers, who truly are at the heart of everything that’s brilliant about our care.

All of our carers have gone through extensive background checks, as well as receiving our industry-leading carer training which includes comprehensive modules on dementia care.
