The symptoms of dementia vary significantly from person to person and the condition is progressive, meaning that people often show different physical and behavioural changes depending on what stage the condition is at. For this reason we tailor every single care package to the individual, so you can be reassured that your loved one is receiving the exact level of care that they need.
Someone diagnosed with dementia may not need any additional support to start with, but they are likely to require some level of home care as the condition advances. The needs of someone living with dementia are often varied, and in some cases can be complex. Our home care in Manchester team are here to provide the right level of care and support for your loved one can be crucial to enabling them to continue living an independent, safe, and happy life.
Maintaining a steady routine is extremely important for someone with dementia; any sudden changes can cause a great deal of stress and upset. At Helping Hands, we do everything we can to support your loved one in their own home, so that they don’t have to go through the stress and upheaval of moving away from the place that is most familiar.
Benefits of home care include:
Our Manchester team will design a care plan that has been completely tailored to your loved one. We can provide anything from short weekly visits, to several visits per day and overnight care.
We also provide live-in care, where your loved one will receive round-the-clock support and assistance. Our carers always work to maintain a routine that your loved one is used to and comfortable with, so you get peace of mind knowing that your loved one is being well taken care of.
Your live-in carer will be matched to your loved one to ensure they are a compatible match. We take in to consideration their likes, dislikes, interests and also the sort of care that is required to ensure your carer is the best possible option. Different to an agency, all of our carers work directly for us so we have a fantastic pool of carers to select from.
We understand that the symptoms of dementia vary greatly from person to person and can change quickly. This is why we take the time to get to know you or your loved one and create a care plan that has been completely tailored to your needs. This will then be amended whenever your needs change, to ensure that you are constantly receiving the best possible care.
Our dedicated team of carers in Manchester all receive award-winning training, and offer unrivalled standards of care. Being one of the UK’s leading care providers means that we place a special focus on dementia care. All Helping Hands carers complete our Helping Hands Dementia Champion programme, which provides extensive training in dementia care.
Every one of our carers is trained to understand dementia and what it’s like to live with and care for someone with the condition. Many of our carers opt to complete additional training modules to further boost their knowledge.
Our Manchester team have been carefully recruited and trained, so that they will provide you with the best standard of care possible, but if you have any questions your local team will be able to support you every step of the way.
