Dementia care in Richmond

Dementia can be a very challenging condition to live with, especially when your close relative or loved one is suffering from it. Having care at home instead of in residential care is extremely beneficial for lots of reasons.

• Maintaining a consistent routine – this is vital for a person living with dementia; any changes can cause a significant amount of stress. This is why our carers always work to stick to the routine that your loved one is familiar with.
• Upholds your independence as much as possible – Receiving support at home means that your loved one does not have to go through the often stressful procedure of moving into an unfamiliar residential care home and can continue living life on their own terms.
• One to one care – Not only is continuity of routine important, but of person too. Home care allows you to build up a relationship with your local care team as you will have continuity and consistency. Being in a care home

If you are looking for a visit or two a day or continuous live-in care you can be assured that our dedicated dementia carers will be on hand to help whenever you need them.
Established in 1989, we are committed to improving the quality of life of those living with dementia. We know that the symptoms can vary considerably from person to person, so this is why we design a completely bespoke care package, completely tailored to your loved one.

People diagnosed with dementia may not require any care in the early stages, but people often require support as the condition advances. It is important that they are provided with the right level of care and support, so that they can continue to carry out their daily routine as safely as possible.

Dementia care includes:

• Personal care
• Medication prompts or administration
• Attending day centres or support groups
• Help with eating and drinking
• Attending appointments
• Providing cognitive stimulation/playing memory games
• Household support
• Companionship

We know that dementia is a challenging condition, not just for the person who is affected, but by the loved ones who surround that individual. We will provide a tailored package of care to your loved one, and stay in regular contact with you at all times to inform you of any changes we have noticed, or just to inform you on how things are going. Your wellbeing is our priority.

At Helping Hands, each and every one of our carers is trained to be a dementia care expert, so they can offer unrivalled quality standards. We have introduced the Helping Hands Dementia Champion accreditation, which provides all of our Richmond carers with vigorous training to support those with the condition. This assures customers, carers, regulators, and commissioners of the quality of the service that we provide.
