Dementia Care
Dementia care can be lonely and challenging when night becomes day. Eating, drinking, medication and all manner of normal daily activities become difficult. A person living with dementia will go through an ever changing journey that will differ from day to day. The changes in a dementia journey requires constant assessment, support, understanding and adaptability.
What we do
- Work closely with the person to understand them and to develop the techniques needed to support.
- Always keep sight of the person within.
- Support with medication needs.
- Never take over and always encourage self care with support.
- Provide a detailed care plan including the persons specific needs.
- Engaging with other professional services such as SALT (speech and language therapy) at the point that they are needed.
- Dementia Champion information sessions for all of our team as well as their formal training.
- Use practical tips taught in training for example using white tape on a door threshold that a person living with dementia may perceive to be a hole which they may be unable to walk across.
We can support with all of the challenges that the individual and family may face as well as having the ability to provide much needed breaks. The changes throughout a persons dementia journey are specific to them and our services are both adaptable and flexible to meet their needs enabling the person to live well with dementia.
Please call us if you feel that our services would be helpful for you or your loved one. We are happy to provide support or to simply provide advice where we are able to do so.
