Dementia care in Gloucester

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

At Helping Hands, we firmly believe that when dementia care becomes necessary, staying in your own home is normally the most reassuring option. Being surrounded by familiar furniture, photographs and daily routines can provide comfort and help reduce feelings of confusion - something you can't really put a price on. Home care also means you’ll receive one-to-one support from a compassionate carer who’ll take the time to understand your lifestyle, preferences and changing needs as your dementia journey progresses.

When to choose dementia care at home

A diagnosis of dementia can feel daunting at first. However, having a friendly carer available to offer support and guidance can help make the transition so much smoother for both you and your family. Our lovely carers focus on supporting your independence rather than taking over completely. They’ll assist with the tasks you find more difficult while encouraging you to remain involved in your everyday routine so that you don’t lose your independence and physical competencies. Whether you need help with personal care, housekeeping, looking after a pet, mobility, or just about anything else, your carers will be alongside you every step of the way.

Expert care tailored to your needs

Dementia affects people in different ways, and we believe care should also be tailored to the individual. From your very first conversation with our lovey team, we’ll work closely with you to understand your needs and design a care plan around your requirements and preferences. Your Gloucester Care Manager will regularly review your support and make adjustments whenever required so that your care always reflects your current circumstances.
