Dementia care in Sheffield

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

The feelings of confusion and anxiety that dementia inevitably causes can be intensified if a person isn’t in a familiar place, surrounded by their own things, which is why dementia home care can be the best thing. Being in their own home, with photographs and objects that they’ve seen every day for years can help to keep a sense of order in their life, especially if they still have loved ones at home who they wouldn’t want to be separated from. Helping Hands has been supporting people living with dementia in their own homes for over 30 years and our friendly team in Sheffield can tell you how we can help. Perhaps you want support with housework, light gardening, meal preparation and companionship, or a trip to Meadowhall to do some essential shopping. Whichever it is, the Sheffield team are looking forward to hearing from you. We also offer live in care in Sheffield.

When to choose dementia care at home

Dementia care in Sheffield may be the right option if your loved one requires more support than you or family members can provide, while still wanting to remain in the comfort of their own home. Signs that home-based dementia care could be beneficial include:

• Growing care needs – Struggling with daily tasks such as taking medication, eating, or managing personal hygiene.
• Safety concerns – Exhibiting behaviours that could put them at risk, such as wandering or forgetting important safety steps.
• Caregiver fatigue – When family members or previous carers feel overwhelmed, stressed, or unable to provide consistent support alone.
• Preference to stay at home – Ensuring your loved one remains in familiar surroundings, maintaining comfort, independence, and a sense of security.

Expert care tailored to your needs

It’s understandable that inviting someone you don’t know into your loved one’s home to care for them, whether on a visiting basis or live-in, can be daunting. That’s why our branch team in Sheffield will be with you every step of the way to design and build a care package that is person centred and individualised to the customer’s own needs. Helping Hands offer flexible, tailored care packages, that focus on dedicated one-to-one support, from an hour a week up to 24-hour live-in care.
