How Can You Support Someone Living With Dementia?
Caring for a loved one with dementia is about more than just meeting their needs, it's about honouring who they are. Our Care Workers take a deeply personal approach and get to know your loved one's background, hobbies, and interests. So they actually understand who they are as an individual.
By weaving these elements into their daily care, we help preserve their identity and bring moments of laughter. Whether through a familiar tune or a shared story from years gone by.
As dementia progresses, your loved one may benefit from more help with everyday activities. However, that doesn't mean they can't still play a part. By involving them in simple tasks like folding laundry or arranging flowers, you can help amplify a sense of purpose and self-worth. Our Care Workers, with their specialist dementia training, know how to encourage these moments with patience and care. So your loved one feels respected.
Tips To Support Your Loved One At Home:
Create a calm space
Simplify their surroundings by cutting down on noise and clutter to help them feel settled, with their cooperation.
Keep them involved
Ask them to lend a hand with small jobs like wiping the table or sorting out socks.
Reminisce together
Dig out old photos, play their favourite music, or chat about past joys to feel connected and present.
