Personalised Care Plans: Recognizing the unique journey of each individual with dementia, we create personalized care plans that focus on enhancing quality of life, maintaining independence for as long as possible, and supporting health and well-being.
Memory Care Activities: Engaging in activities that stimulate memory and cognitive function is crucial. Our caregivers are trained to facilitate memory-enhancing activities tailored to the individual’s interests and abilities, from music and art therapy to puzzles and storytelling.
Daily Living Assistance: We provide compassionate assistance with daily living activities, including personal hygiene, dressing, meal preparation, and medication management, always prioritizing the individual’s comfort and dignity.
Behavioural Support: Understanding and managing the behavioural changes that often accompany dementia, such as confusion, agitation, or withdrawal, requires patience and expertise. Our caregivers use positive, person-centred approaches to support individuals through these challenges.
Safety and Environment Adaptation: Ensuring a safe living environment is critical. We assess the individual’s living space for potential safety risks and recommend adaptations to make their environment as safe and comfortable as possible.
Family Support and Education: Dementia affects entire families. We provide education, resources, and emotional support to families, helping them navigate the challenges of dementia care with confidence and compassion.
Respite Care: Recognising the physical and emotional demands on family caregivers, we offer respite care services, providing short-term relief that allows caregivers to rest, recharge, and attend to their own needs.
The Benefits of Our Dementia Care Services
