Contrary to popular belief, dementia is not epitomised with a single set of symptoms. While those living with the disease often exhibit signs of forgetfulness and distress, until they can no longer remember where they are or who they are surrounded by, the degrees through which individuals can suffer from dementia are such that every experience is different.
And while for many that means the disease does not become directly debilitating until later down the line, it also means that the demand for care and support services varies hugely.
Which is where our dementia live in care services come in.
What makes dementia live in care different?
If there’s one thing that can help individuals suffering with dementia, it’s decisions which allow them to remain in familiar surroundings, receiving help and support from those they know and recognise.
Not only do live in care services let these individuals remain in the comfort of their own home for as long as possible, but they aim to match each individual with a carer or set of carers who remain consistent throughout the duration of their support. This allows your loved one to benefit from the carer expertise and companionship of a member of our team – building connections that allow them to trust and feel comfortable around their carer.
For you, the family, dementia live in care is a 24 hour support service that gives you the peace of mind that your loved one is being properly cared for, whatever their needs. Whether it’s little daily habits or big changes to their routine, with the help of a live in carer, retaining some semblance of normality is not only possible but probable.
At what stage of a dementia diagnosis does an individual require live in care?
Live in care is a personal choice that you can call upon as and when you feel you need it. Live in Care is available in both the early and late stages of a dementia diagnosis, all the way through to palliative and end of life care, our services are uniquely matched to your situation so that you can receive the best support for you.
The main aim of our team and every one of our carers is to empower those living with dementia to continue to live their life as independently as possible, from the comfort and warmth of their own home, and surrounded by loved ones who – in our experience – make the process much easier to navigate.
When dementia strikes, consistency and support are key – with our team able to make this a reality in your own home.
