Dementia care in Leeds

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

Helping Hands has been a leading dementia home care provider for over 30 years, supporting more than 40,000 families with one-to-one care in their own homes. Dementia can cause confusion and memory loss even in its early stages, so being able to reduce those feelings by being in a familiar place, surrounded by photographs and mementos can have a profound difference on someone’s dementia journey. You and your loved one will have very definite ideas about how you like things done and your carefully selected carer will always work within the structure of your support plan. This plan will be compiled by the decision makers and local management team, ensuring that you always have complete control over the care routine that’s put into place. This guarantee that the customer is firmly at the centre of their own care experience means that you can be confident in the carer’s ability to be flexible when necessary but always professional.

When to choose dementia care at home

You may want to consider dementia home care in Leeds if your loved one requires more support than you or other family members can provide, while still living at home. Signs that care could be beneficial include:

• Increasing care needs – If everyday tasks such as taking medication, eating, or managing personal hygiene are becoming challenging, professional support can help your loved one remain independent while ensuring these essential activities are carried out safely.
• Safety concerns – When unusual behaviours arise, such as wandering, home care offers continuous supervision and reduces the risk of accidents.
• Caregiver fatigue – If family members or current carers feel overwhelmed, stressed, or unable to meet the demands of care, professional support provides relief while maintaining consistent, high-quality care.
• Desire to stay at home – For those who wish to remain in a familiar, comfortable environment, home care ensures they receive the necessary support while staying in surroundings that feel safe and reassuring.

Expert care tailored to your needs

Every person living with dementia is an individual and that means their care needs to be individualised too. Your local manager in Leeds will liaise with the decision makers to make sure that the package of care provided is tailored perfectly to your loved-one’s needs and that the care and support plan is mapped to their lifestyle and preferences. Having the support of a carer can take pressure away from family members and allow you to focus on your relationship, meaning you get to spend quality time together without worrying about the practicalities of care. Your friendly and knowledgeable carer will provide your loved-one with every aspect of their physical and emotional support, reducing anxiety and confusion, whether you decide on a visiting carer for a few hours a week or full-time live-in care in Leeds.
