Living at home with Dementia

Dementia is a common condition that affects a good number of people in our society these days. Risk of developing dementia increases as you get older, it is most prevalent in people over the age of 65. Dementia is a syndrome (a group of related symptoms) associated with an ongoing decline of the brain and its abilities. This includes problems with:

1. OMemory loss
2. Mental agility
3. Thinking speed
4. Understanding
5. Language
6. Judgement

Dementia has many different stages and it affects different people in different ways. Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia. People with Alzheimer’s can struggle with memory loss, mood changes and problems with communication and reasoning and they often feel vulnerable and helpless.The severity of dementia has a wide scale, but symptoms of dementia will usually get gradually worse. The speed with which this occurs will depend on the general health or the person and on the type of dementia they have.

Dementia care at home

Most people with dementia will eventually need live-in care if they are to remain in their own home. Although dementia can seem like a challenging issue to face for families, with the right professional live-in care and support those with it can still enjoy an active, happy and fulfilling life in their own homes.At Caring People we are actively trying to improve the options for people with dementia to remain at home. Homecare is often an overlooked option. Yet it is a viable and often preferable option for people with dementia compared to moving into residential nursing care or to similar sort of settings.

Caring for a loved one can be physically and mentally very demanding. It’s a role that requires 100 per cent commitment, and a lot of selflessness. No matter how committed you are to the needs of the person you’re caring for, you also need to make time for yourself.Caring People’s home respite care services enable carers to ensure their loved ones receive the help and support they need whilst they take a short break from their roles.

We’ve designed our services to allow you to recharge, safe in the knowledge that your loved one is being looked after by one of our friendly carers. Respite for carers can last anywhere from a few days to several weeks away from the role. So, this short break will enable you to return to caring feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Our respite services see warm and friendly temporary carers go into the homes of people affected by a range of conditions to provide short term care. In the past years as a provider of home care, we’ve delivered respite support for the carers of elderly people, Dementia respite care, and much more.

Allowing someone else to come into the home can be a tough decision. There are worries over disruption to existing routines, and lifestyle. Our short term carers recognise the importance of planning any temporary care. They will communicate with you to ensure that your loved one’s medical and lifestyle requirements are met during your absence.

Support for carers isn’t just there for when you feel like you need a break. If you become ill, or you have to go into hospital, you can call on our emergency respite carers whilst you recuperate. Through our emergency respite services, we enable you to rest assured that your loved one will continue to get the care they need in their own home.We understand that emergency situations arise with no prior warning. There’s often very little time to plan for emergency respite care. We have a large pool of carers, who are enthusiastic about the people they look after and the roles they serve.

This means you can always rely on us to arrange for a carer to provide short term care in the home quickly and efficiently.
