Dementia care in London

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

When you are living with a type of dementia, staying in a familiar environment can help calm your symptoms. That’s why at Helping Hands, we believe remaining in your home is the best place to be.

It sometimes helps to make small changes to your home, to make it more supportive and dementia-friendly. Our empathetic careers can support you with these changes. This can include improving the lighting to remove any trip hazards or labelling cupboards reminding you where things are kept. Plus, being at home allows you to be closer to your loved ones, which is important for your mental well-being.

Your personalised care plan will detail the steps that our carers will take to ensure that you feel as comfortable as possible, while remaining in the place you love most.
