Dementia Live-In Care
Providing live-in care and support to people struggling with dementia.
Looking for Live-In
Dementia Care?
Watching a loved one live with dementia can be stressful and difficult. As memory loss increases or the ability to cope alone starts to fade, families can be left with the exhausting task of helping to care for their loved one. It can be upsetting to watch the symptoms of dementia unfold, and beyond that, as the condition continues many find themselves unable to provide the consistent care their family needs. This leaves them wondering how they can best be supporting those they love, ensuring that their quality of life remains high during this difficult new period.
Live-in care can be a wonderful option for many people with dementia. It allows for constant, dedicated care from a trained care companion, all whilst allowing your loved one to remain in their own home. The familiar surroundings of home can help in keeping a client comfortable, happy, and ease the confusion that may come with uprooting them into a care home.
How Dementia Live-In
Care Works
Our live-in care services are built to reflect the needs of each client we work with. When it comes to dementia care, the Guardian Live-In Care team have a long history of experience in the field, and we understand how to offer valuable care services to clients facing the symptoms of dementia. Our care companions are trained in providing care to ease the confusion and strain dementia can cause. They can offer comfort and reassurance, reducing stress or anxiety with natural and proven techniques.
Likewise, live-in care works to help your loved one be able to remain in their home. Often this means that a care companion will help to handle daily household tasks that may become more difficult over time. This includes cooking, cleaning, caring for pets, and handling menial tasks. On top of that, they are fully qualified to offer health assistance through administering medication, helping with bathing or using the bathroom, mobility support, and a variety of other services. It all depends what your loved on needs most.
Benefits of Dementia Live-In Care
With so many care services on offer, it can be difficult to know what is going to work best for you and your loved one. To help you out as you weigh up your options, we’ve outlined just a few of the benefits live-in care can offer clients with dementia:
The Comfort of Home
For many people with dementia, uprooting their lives to move into the unfamiliar environment of a care home can be confusing and overwhelming. Live-in care services maintain the familiarity of the house they’re used to living in.
Adjustable Care Services
The three stages of dementia (early, mid, and late) all require unique care. Live-in care offers a flexible approach to services, ensuring that without changing carers services are able to change and grow to meet the ongoing development of your loved one’s needs.
Carer-Client Relationships
Many people with dementia may find a care home difficult, with a constant rotation of carers who have a range of other residents to care for. With live-in care, the one-on-one nature of the carer’s relationship can help ease confusion for your loved one, easing them into the routine of this new way of living.
Tailored Care
A care home comes with its own routines and schedules. For clients with dementia, this can at times be stressful, or not work with their own unique needs. Live-in care is designed entirely around the client, finding the perfect care plan and routine that works for them.
