Dementia and Alzheimer's Support We Offer

Alzheimer's disease, as a form of dementia, has a progressive series of symptoms identified by the Alzheimer's society, including memory loss, language issues and cognitive difficulties. 

These symptoms come as a result of brain damage, where efficient communication between the neurones of the brain is impaired. Depending on the areas of the brain that are affected varies the types of symptoms people will experience. Alzheimer's disease is just one of over 100 forms of dementia.

It is often recommended that people living with Alzheimer's disease, or any other form of dementia, are not left to live alone. People with dementia should receive daily dementia care, whether short visits or long-term live-in care, to help limit any trips, falls or accidents.

Care for Alzheimer's Disease vs Dementia Care

The care and support needed by those with Alzheimer's disease are often more complex than those for other forms of dementia. 

Carers providing Alzheimer's support are required to undertake additional training when compared with dementia care to ensure they have the skills necessary to meet to needs of our clients. This is an essential detail that Companions Home Care can provide, ensuring that our clients with Alzheimer's disease are effectively cared for in the best way possible. 

The name "Dementia" refers to a number of brain disorders that impair people's memory, thought processes, decision-making and concentration. Of these disorders, Alzheimer's disease is the most common form currently in the UK. 

Between 60% and 80% of dementia, diagnoses are caused by Alzheimer's disease. It can be worthwhile learning which symptoms to look out for if you think your loved one may have dementia and to arrange appropriate dementia care when needed.

 Familiar Surroundings

One of the most crucial aspects of receiving in-home care is that your loved one will be surrounded by the things they know and love. Unlike care homes, where your loved one will only have a single room to house their possessions, they can hold onto more of their favourite things by receiving care at home. This can be especially beneficial for those living with dementia. 

 Personalised Care

Our in-home care service is personally tailored to your loved one's individual care needs. Our care plan will fit naturally around their ordinary lives to maintain their independence while receiving care. Your loved one will be able to carry on as usual, with the addition of a compassionate helping hand when they need it. 

 Home Health Care

Personally tailored care plans means that more time can be spent considering your loved one's needs. This inevitably leads to a more comprehensive level of professional care. While receiving care at home, people find that they recover quicker after stays in the hospital. In-home care also allows our clients to recover at their own pace, with a flexible care plan suited to their needs. 

 More Independence

Losing independence can be a stressful, frustrating and emotionally difficult process. Conversely, by arranging for your loved one to receive in-home care, your loved one will be able to hold onto more of their freedom. Our care plans are organised around their individual lives, allowing them to choose when and what they wish to do. This can be anything from bedtimes to socialising and taking part in hobbies. Our carers can also help your loved ones get out of the house, helping them gain greater independence and self-esteem. 

 Family Participation

Another crucial benefit of your loved one receiving in-home care is that you and your family members will be free to visit them whenever you please. We also invite you and your family to be personally involved in your loved one's care, taking a greater holistic approach to in-home care.
