What is Dementia Care & Who is it For?
When someone receives a diagnosis of dementia or Alzheimers, there are multiple ways in which one can receive dementia care. Those living with dementia are affected in more ways than one, meaning where and how dementia care is given really depends on the individual and their level of dementia. Dementia care can be provided as in-home care in their own home or within a specialised setting such as a nursing home or residential care home.
Deciding on the correct level of care required by yourself or a loved one and where best to receive it can be a challenging task. Lower level dementia within its earlier stages can show symptoms such as difficulty in carrying out daily routines, memory loss and misplacing items. At a more advanced stage of dementia, symptoms worsen, where individuals struggle more with personal care, preparing meals, household management and remembering to attend any personal appointments.
All symptoms could be an indication that around-the-clock care is needed from professionals and Dementia Care in Balgreen offers both care assistants and nurses who are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, all within a safe and supportive environment. Alongside having access to these care services, individuals can also benefit from using our onsite facilities, taking part in events and activities, living with like-minded people and most importantly having meals and housekeeping taken care of.
