Dementia can cause you to forget. You may have trouble remembering what day it is, or what it is you had started doing. You may also not recognise people anymore. These symptoms can be very frightening and overwhelming, but you are not alone.

With their years of experience, our carers build close and trusting relationships with their clients and will be there to reassure you and provide you with the support you need. They can prompt you to remember certain tasks, such as brushing your teeth or walking the dog, they can also help you stimulate your memories with the use of photo albums and scrapbooking.

Sometimes, just a chat with a friendly person you trust can help you engage with and preserve precious memories that you don’t want to lose.

Dementia can cause you to feel unsure and confused. Not remembering where you are or what you are doing can be very difficult to deal with. Having somebody there that you trust to support you through this is very important.

Nobody likes to be told what to do, especially if they don’t understand or remember why; therefore our carers are gentle and understanding in their approach. They will patiently and considerately guide you and assist you when you need it.

As time passes you may find that you want to leave your house less and less, causing you to lose contact with friends and family. You may have trouble communicating or finishing sentences. We understand how daunting it can be to partake in social activities and to do some of the things that used to be so easy.

With gentle encouragement and our continued support we can accompany you and help you to take each step at a time, to build relationships and enjoy your life with the people who love and care about you.

Everyday tasks that you used to be able to perform easily may become more difficult for you if you have dementia. Our live-in carers can help take a load off your mind by helping you with household chores such as cleaning, vacuuming, washing up and laundry to make sure you remain comfortable in your home.

We can also assist you with your food shopping and cook your meals for you. Staying healthy is very important, so we provide you with nutritious meals that support a healthy and balanced diet. If you are able to perform these household tasks yourself but still have some concerns, our carers can just be there to assist you and help you.

Our services depend entirely on your personal needs and lifestyle.

You may find that your behaviour and personality start to change. You may become irritable, anxious, panicky or even depressed. Dementia can be tough and nobody should have to go through it alone.

With our continued support and reassurance, we help you through this difficult time. The close relationship that you will have formed with your carer means that not only can you trust them completely, but they will always be kind and patient with you and never act angrily. Depression can be common with people who have dementia.

Depressive symptoms occur in approximately 45% of Alzheimer’s cases. Our carers are trained to recognise symptoms of depression and will refer you to a doctor if they feel you need anti-depressants. During this time, they will be a constant and dependable support to you.
