Dementia Care
There are various types of Dementia, from Alzheimer’s to Parkinson’s, all with different symptoms, striking different people and all requiring varied care services.
All types of dementia can cause behavioural patterns for our clients that can be difficult for family members and friends to cope with both physically and emotionally. Often, seeking the support of trained dementia carers will help relieve the pressure.
Living with dementia can be a frightening and lonely experience, both for individuals and their families. Significantly, changes to routine or environment can sometimes make the condition worse. Often tailored one-to-one at home care is therefore the preferred option over residential care, helping them manage their condition in the comfort of familiar surroundings.
A familiar environment also makes us feel more secure and comfortable. Suffering from dementia or a long-term condition can threaten this sense of security and can make dealing with day-to-day tasks difficult. Having the help to manage the condition can make all the difference to you or your loved ones. Our Dementia Care service offers a lifeline to those wanting to remain at home.
Our Dementia Care services include:
- Supervision of medicines which can form part of an individual’s care plan. Ensuring that specific medication is taken at specific times of the day can give you and your loved ones peace of mind
- Routine is an important part of managing a condition such as dementia or other long-term conditions. A specific care plan which takes account of this is an important part of you or your loved one’s health and wellbeing
- Regular social contact with a trusted carer also has a positive impact upon quality of life and mental wellbeing
- Having a knowledgeable carer regularly involved in you or your loved one’s care can help to identify concerns early and ensure that appropriate interventions are arranged before an issue becomes a bigger problem.
Rest assured, any visiting Brook of Life Care carer will be sensitive to who you are and what you like or dislike.
