Support for Dementia
If you have a family member who lives with Dementia, A Star Care understands how difficult this can be for the individual as well as the family impact. Our Dementia home care service offers a specialised approach to those living with this disease that deals with affected memory, thinking and behaviour. It’s our aim at A Star Care to make every individual feel that they have personal care and are encouraged to maintain their independence and dignity.
Dementia affects around 55 million people around the world and a loved one living with this disease can be difficult for the family too. Watching someone they know so well behave differently or decline in mental sharpness is hard. Alzheimer’s is used interchangeably with the term Dementia as both illnesses cause memory loss and mental deterioration.
When to Consider Dementia Home Care
An individual with dementia may show signs such as losing interest in routine and struggling to control their emotions and behaviours. A personality change may result in those close to them struggling to comfort or deal with situations at home. A dementia patient might show signs of paranoia and need assistance making decisions, symptoms typically grow worse over time. Other symptoms include mispronunciation and trouble speaking, memory loss or confusion, struggling to understand, and difficulty in daily activities.
Considering dementia home care is a good idea for families struggling to monitor their loved ones and maintain their happiness. Caring for a patient with Dementia can be tiring and understandable effect your mental health too if you are a regular carer for them. You shouldn’t feel guilty to seek out help and turn to dementia home care.
The Comfort of Your Own Home
Our Dementia patients will benefit from our dementia home care as it minimises disruption and the individual can continue living amongst loved ones or their belongings. With someone to regularly monitor and accompany a person living with Dementia, their family members and friends can rest assured knowing they’re receiving the care they need, and they’ll have a companion. Our carers will ensure that their patient has support washing and dressing if needed, as well as making sure they eat and drink well. Household chores and support managing medication will also be provided. Companionship is just as important too so that the individual can continue to be social and maintain their dignity.
