Dementia Care FAQs
Dementia Care FAQs
When should someone with dementia receive home care?
Home care can be introduced at different stages of dementia, depending on the person’s individual needs and circumstances. Having the right support in place can help with everyday tasks, safety and maintaining independence at home.
Can care be adapted as dementia progresses?
Yes! We know that dementia is a progressive condition, and we review our care plans regularly, so that we always provide the right level of support for each person.
What if my loved one is resistant to care?
This is quite a common concern, and our team is trained to work gently and respectfully with our clients, taking the time needed to build trust. We also make sure to introduce care gradually, always respecting the person’s preferences and routines.
