Dementia Care in Melksham

If you or a loved with is living with dementia, it might be difficult to know when to choose to get some help. Considering different care options can be overwhelming and at times, daunting. We’re here to take the fear away from making those tricky decisions. Living with dementia doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy life; it may just mean you need a bit of help to get along. Whether you just need an extra pair of hands to walk the dog or do the dishes lately, we can offer visiting care from as little as 30 minutes a week. Or if you feel you need a whole other person full-time to help keep an eye on things, our bespoke live-in care could be perfect for you.

Our carers are passionate about what they do. Not only are they trained in general housekeeping, meal preparation and being outright crossword puzzle boffins, but they’re also trained in dementia-specific training. This means we can tailor a care plan around you and your unique needs, with you calling the shots. They are experts in managing your medication, creating a helpful daily routine, and making your home as dementia friendly as possible. We can help with fall and trip prevention, general mobility support, and palliative care if needed. However far your dementia may have progressed, we can help manage it, so it doesn’t manage you!

Our carers go through our superb training program to add to their already extensive knowledge and experience. At Helping Hands, we also offer nursing care if your needs require a more medically experienced approach. Not only are they best at care, but they’re also handpicked to match your personality and interests. Maybe your favourite thing to do in Melksham is go to the annual ‘Party in the Park’.
