Dementia Care

Discover how we can help your loved one who may be suffering from dementia.

We are committed to delivering bespoke care to support their well-being and enhance their quality of life.

Personalised Care Plans

Each person’s unique needs, preferences, and medical history are strongly considered.

Experienced & Compassionate Staff

Provide emotional support, and a deep understanding of each person’s unique needs.

Comfortable Environments

We provide a safe experience in somewhere that is familiar to each individual.

Family & Loved Ones Support

Family and loved ones can create a collaborative experience with us, being there each step of the way.

Dementia can be scary for the person living with it and for their loved ones. Even the smallest of changes can be distressing.

Changes in routine or living arrangements can trigger stress and anxiety.

Everyone experiences Dementia differently and no two cases are the same for them or their loved ones.

Our highly trained and compassionate carers are there to help those living with dementia as well as take the pressure off of their loved ones.

Assisting our carers is our use of technology that will help us to keep you informed 24 hours a day at the click of a link to see exactly what is happening with your loved one’s care.

We use technology for you to help us deliver the best care we can. However, you don’t have to use it – we can always provide updates over the phone or write in the communications book if you prefer that. It is your care and your choice and we are here to help deliver that.

We have trained carers who have a vast wealth of experience. These expert carers support people with dementia so that they can live in the comfort of their own homes.

To help you make an informed decision, we can connect you with families who are currently receiving care or have previously received care. This decision is significant, and hearing from others’ experiences can provide valuable insights.

If you’re becoming increasingly forgetful, particularly if you’re over the age of 65, it may be a good idea to talk to your GP about the early signs of dementia.

Dementia Care Plan

A dementia care plan is a comprehensive, personalised approach designed to address the unique needs and challenges faced by those living with dementia.

This plan includes a thorough assessment of the person’s cognitive abilities, physical health, and emotional well-being, conducted by healthcare professionals in collaboration with family members and ourselves, at Alcester Home Care.

Key aspects of a dementia care plan include how we can help with medication management, strategies we use to improve cognitive function and the refinement of routines for daily living activities.

It also addresses the person’s social and emotional needs, providing support networks and community resources to improve their quality of life. We will regularly monitor and adjust the care plan, as it is crucial to adapt to the evolving nature of dementia.

We want to ensure that your loved one receives effective care throughout the progression of dementia.

Dementia Care FAQs

Find answers to frequently asked questions regarding the care and support for dementia. You may also find useful answers on our dedicated FAQs page.

Dementia is a syndrome associated with an ongoing decline in brain function that interferes with daily life. It affects memory, thinking, judgement, behaviour, and language.

The most common cause of dementia is Alzheimer’s disease, which is most common in people aged 65 and over.

Start by educating yourself about dementia to understand the condition and its effects on behaviour and cognition. Solidify a structured routine to provide stability and reduce confusion for the person with dementia. Use clear, simple communication and be patient, giving them time to respond.

Make a safe environment by removing potential hazards and using safety aids if needed. Engage your loved one in activities that match their interests and capabilities to stimulate their mind and provide some happiness.

However, caring for someone with dementia without prior experience can be challenging. Here at Alcester Home Care, we work with you and your family to create a completely personalised, holistic plan for your loved one who may be suffering with dementia.

As dementia progresses, your loved one may experience a notable decline in cognitive abilities, such as increased difficulty with memory, problem-solving, and decision-making. The prominence of behavioural changes may occur, such as more confusion, agitation, or aggression, as well as withdrawal from social interactions and activities they may have previously enjoyed.

Communication skills may deteriorate, making it harder for them to find words or follow conversations.

Daily tasks, such as personal hygiene or managing finances, may become increasingly challenging, leading to a greater need for assistance. Changes in physical abilities, such as difficulty walking or increased falls, may also happen.

​Simply get in touch with us at Alcester Home Care, and we can help to create an individualised plan to help your loved one feel supported.

Contact us if your loved one may be showing signs of dementia. We can provide dementia care that can offer you and your loved one support.
