When to choose dementia care
Specialist one-to-one dementia care at home is an ideal option for anyone who is finding it difficult to provide their loved one with the type and amount of support they need on a daily basis. Dementia can be an incredibly unpredictable condition, with symptoms varying and progressing constantly, and it can often be hard to know where to turn when your loved one isn’t having the best of days. We’re able to provide dementia care on both a visiting care basis – starting from just 30 minutes a week – and a live-in care basis, for round-the-clock support.
Expert care tailored to your needs
We firmly believe that in order for a home care plan to be as effective and transformative as possible, it needs to be built around the specific needs and preferences of the individual receiving it. This is especially true with a complex, variable condition such as dementia, which has so many different types and symptoms. Your local care manager in Cambridgeshire will take the time to understand how we can best support you to continue living at home and maintain as normal a life as possible. Staying at home for care can be especially beneficial for anyone who is experiencing confusion and disorientation as a symptom of their dementia, as it allows them to remain in a familiar, comforting environment. As part of your support, we can help you adapt your home to make it more accessible for your evolving needs.
