Dementia Care At Home

Care at home for Dementia patients is difficult but possible

Dementia care at home can be a challenge for both patients and those who care for someone who has it. No day repeats itself, and the care required can vary dramatically from day to day. Additionally, caring for someone with Dementia requires specialist communication, behavioural skills and routine to ensure that identity is maintained and dignity is preserved.

With a condition like Dementia, the client should get a familiar face or the same carer to help them with daily tasks. High retention is necessary for consistent and continuous care. However, that doesn’t mean Dementia patients must leave home and relocate to a care home or respite centre to seek help.

Dementia live-in care or visiting care is an affordable alternative to residential care for those who need someone to be with them day and night. A professional, fully trained carer can reside with our clients in their own home, provide one-to-one service, and round-the-clock care to give our clients the best quality of life possible.

What are Dementia and Alzheimer’s?

Maintain a normal lifestyle and stay independent with Dementia care at home

With appropriate approach and support, Dementia patients can carry out their daily tasks to the best of their abilities and complete the tasks independently. The goal is to maintain a sense of autonomy and independence which increases the quality of life.

At Visiting Angels, we believe that everybody has the right to live their life to the fullest. Therefore, our mission is to help our clients with Dementia continue living their chosen lifestyle safely and for as long as possible.

Why choose Visiting Angels Dementia care at home?

Personalised and tailored care at home for Dementia

All Dementia patients are unique in their requirements for care. Therefore, each care plan is highly personalised and tailored to individual needs. At first, a free consultation will be held to discuss personal, and medical history, the client’s current condition, and their requirements for care. We will then collect input from client, their family, and healthcare professionals involved in the client’s care and treatment to create a personal care plan. Unrushed care is our standard of quality care.

Choose Your Own Caregiver

We make great efforts to pair our clients with their carers. Continuity and consistency are crucial for taking care of Dementia clients at home, which is why we focus on building companionship between caregiver and client. Our people-centred service will ensure that clients’ health and well-being are supported by a companion who suits their personality, cultural, religious beliefs, or hobbies. Visiting Angels is the first home care company in the UK to let our clients choose their own caregivers.

Support Applying for funding

Depending on personal circumstances and the local council, clients might be entitled to receive financial aid. We can support our clients in funding applications to claim their rightful allowance. Visiting Angels West London is proud to have successfully helped several clients apply for funding.
