Dementia Care FAQs
When Is Home Care Good For Someone With Dementia?
It’s ideal to introduce home care in the early to mid-stages of the condition, when a person can still enjoy a familiar environment and maintain independence. Specialist care will help manage daily tasks, ensure safety, and reduce stress for the individual and their family.
Can Care Be Adapted As Dementia Progresses?
Absolutely! We know that dementia is a progressive condition, and our care plans are designed to be flexible and regularly reviewed, so that we always provide the right level of support you or a loved one needs.
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.
