Dementia care in Aylesbury

Why care at home is a good option for somebody with dementia

A change of routine and environment can be very stressful for someone living with dementia. With a perfectly tailored nursing 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 Helping 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 in Aylesbury for higher, or more continual needs.

When to choose dementia care at home

Dementia care at home can be a great option when everyday tasks become more challenging or extra support is needed to stay safe and independent. It allows individuals to remain in familiar surroundings while receiving personalised care.

Expert care tailored to your 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 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.
