Staying at home can be a significant benefit for those living with dementia. A familiar environment helps reduce stress and confusion, promoting a sense of stability and comfort that can be challenging to replicate in a new setting. Our dementia home care services are designed to maximise these advantages, helping to enhance the comfort and quality of life for individuals living with dementia.
Caring for someone with Dementia at home involves a personalised approach that starts with understanding the individual’s specific needs and preferences. We emphasise safety, comfort, and maintaining personal dignity through structured routines and activities tailored to each stage of the disease, ensuring care evolves with the individual’s condition.
While dementia refers to a broad category of brain diseases that affect memory and cognitive abilities, Alzheimer’s is a specific type of dementia characterised by particular changes in the brain. It progresses through identifiable stages, each affecting the individual’s functioning differently.
Round-the-clock care is often recommended as Dementia progresses to more advanced stages. This level of care helps manage the increasing complexity of needs safely, including assistance with daily activities, medical management, and preventing wandering.
The progression and duration of Dementia disease can vary widely:
• Early Stage (Mild): Typically lasts 2–4 years. Individuals may function independently but will experience memory lapses.
• Middle Stage (Moderate): Can last 2–10 years. During this phase, individuals face greater memory loss and confusion, requiring more intensive supervision.
• Late Stage (Severe): Usually lasts 1–3 years. As cognitive abilities decline significantly, round-the-clock care is required.
Leaving someone with Dementia alone can be risky, especially as the disease progresses to moderate and severe stages. Supervision becomes crucial to ensure their safety and to manage typical behaviours like wandering or forgetfulness.
The cost of dementia home care varies based on the intensity and frequency of care needed. Each care plan is customised after a thorough assessment to provide an accurate estimate, ensuring the services match the specific requirements of the individual.
