What is a dementia care plan?
A dementia care plan can range from live-in to visiting care and can be tailored to fit around you and your needs.
We know that you deserve the best when it comes to care. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with dementia, Helping Hands offers the best care packages around. However far your dementia has progressed, we can offer a variety of plans to fit around your specific needs. We offer visiting, live in care and respite care so you can be cared for in any manner you choose. With our various dementia care options, we can help you manage your condition as opposed to it managing you.

How Helping Hands can help
At Helping Hands, we can help you to live well with dementia.
From our various care packages, we can tailor a care package to suit you and your unique needs. We handpick our carers to match your personality and interests, so you don’t just gain a carer living in your home – but a friend. We can help with basic housekeeping and meal preparation to just an extra pair of hands to wash the dishes. If you need help with more complex medical needs like medication administration, personal care like bathing and dressing, or age-related frailty care, we also offer bespoke nursing care.
How do I create a dementia care plan that works for me?
