Dementia care in Aylesbury

A change of routine and environment can be very stressful for someone living with dementia. With a perfectly tailored care plan, your loved one can get the proper support they require at home, surrounded by their familiar comforts, instead of going through the stress and upheaval of moving into a residential home.

Familiarity and continuity are essential aspects of dementia care. Care agencies and residential homes often use agency staff which could mean your loved one could be receiving support from a different carer every day of the week. At Helpnig Hands all of our carers are directly employed, which guarantees your continuity of carer.

Your home care package will be tailored to your exact needs, and adapted as time goes on to suit your changing needs. We can provide visiting care for as little as 30 minutes a week, up to full-time live-in care for higher, or more continual needs.

People diagnosed with dementia may not require any care in the early stages, but people often require support as the condition advances. It is important that a person living with dementia is provided with the right level of care and support, so that they can continue to carry out their daily routine as safely as possible.

Dementia care includes:

• Personal care
• Medication prompts or administration
• Attending day centers or support groups
• Help with eating and drinking
• Attending appointments
• Providing cognitive stimulation/playing memory games
• Household support
• Companionship

We know that dementia is a challenging condition, not just for the person who is affected, but by the loved ones who surround that individual. We will provide a tailored package of care to your loved one, and stay in regular contact with you at all times to inform you of any changes we have noticed, or just to inform you on how things are going. Your wellbeing is our priority.
