Our team is committed to providing high-quality, person-centred care to both our clients and their families. We develop a tailor-made plan so that everyone involved can feel as supported and comfortable as possible.
About
Dementia Care
Dementia can impact every aspect of someone’s life. Some issues that can develop include:
- A decreased ability to focus, concentrate, and solve problems.
- Making inappropriate or unsafe decisions and choices.
- Reduced capability to undertake daily tasks such as household maintenance and chores, personal care, and driving.
- An alteration to personality, behaviour, and temperament.
- A deterioration of physical health.
Why Is Dementia Care
At Home Important?
Receiving at home dementia care allows the person with the condition to continue living at home while retaining their safety, productivity, and quality of life to as high a standard as possible. It can also reduce family and friends’ stress and provide them with breaks and assistance.
