Dementia Care
The term dementia refers to a range of disorders that can affect both the body and the memory over time. Neurons, also known as nerve cells, make up billions of the brain’s cells, and they talk to one another through the exchange of chemical messages. Neurons in the brain of a person suffering from dementia will be damaged. These messages are unable to be transmitted in an efficient manner, which will have repercussions for all of the brain’s functions.
Helping a loved one or a friend who has dementia to remain in his or her own home is the primary goal of dementia care. If you need someone to check on your loved one first thing in the morning and assist them with personal care or breakfast, or if you need someone to keep an eye on them throughout the night to make sure they are safe, you can rest assured that our fully trained carers will be there for you whenever you require their assistance. They can also be helpful in other areas, such as the following:
- Medication support.
- Facilitating movement and mobility.
- Making it easier to participate in activities, hobbies, and socialise with others.
- Taking care of the housework and the cooking for the family.
The results of your assessment of care will help decide the type of assistance you require. We design individualised care plans that are suited to your personal requirements, which means that the services we provide will change depending on the person.
