Home help isn’t just for the elderly or people who live alone.

We can assist couples when one needs extensive assistance and the other only requires assistance with household chores.

The best aspect of home help is that it is provided in the place you feel the most secure, protected, and comfortable: your home.

What kind of home help assistance is available to me?

Home help assistance can range from as little as 30 minutes per week with a visiting care professional to round-the-clock assistance with live-in care.

Care can be adapted and tailored to your specific needs.

With home help assistance, you may require a few visits one week to assist with cleaning and shopping, but the following week you may want assistance attending appointments and overnight support in addition to your regular visits.

And if you realise that you need extra help at home with personal care, mobility, and keeping up with cleaning on a daily basis, you may want to consider moving to live-in care.

This is when a care professional stays with you in your home and is available anytime you need them.

Whether you’re living with dementia, multiple sclerosis, or recuperating from a stroke, we make sure that all our care professionals are trained to help with the symptoms of certain ailments, with some even becoming specialists in specific health fields such as dementia.

If your usual care professional takes a holiday, or if you need help at home after being discharged from the hospital, respite care is a terrific way to get home help for a short period of time until you’re feeling more like yourself again or until your care professionals returns from their holiday.

We can even look after your loved one while you’re away on holiday if you regularly look after them or if you’re concerned about leaving them alone.

Alzheimer’s and dementia home care FAQs

How do you look after someone who is living with Alzheimer's?

Caring for people living with Alzheimer's disease, or any kind of dementia, requires both patience and adaptability. Careful planning, maintaining a safe setting and concentrating on the person are all important considerations.

What is the difference between dementia and Alzheimer's?

In essence, Alzheimer's disease is a kind of dementia.

Dementia is not a disease in itself, but rather a word used to describe a range of symptoms, such as memory loss and difficulties concentrating.
Alzheimer's disease, on the other hand, is a particular medical disorder that alters the nerve endings in the brain and how they interact with one another.
There are several phases of dementia, each with its own set of symptoms.
Those living with Alzheimer's will also go through several stages of the disease's progression.

When do people who live with Alzheimer's require 24-hour care?

It varies from person to person, but, as the condition develops, care requirements will grow more complex.

What is the duration of each stage of Alzheimer's disease?

Unfortunately, there is no set time period for how long it will take to proceed from one stage of Alzheimer's disease to the next.

The rate of advancement is determined by the individual and their medical status. However, due to the disease's prevalence, there is an average for how long each stage lasts.

Alzheimer's disease stage                                  Time spent on average
The initial stage        (mild)                                      2–4 years
The middle stage     (moderate)                             2–10 years
The late stage           (severe)                                  1–3 years

If you're not sure what to expect at each stage of Alzheimer's, see your doctor or a healthcare specialist.

Can someone living with Alzheimer's disease be left alone?

Because each person with dementia is unique, this will vary. However, if someone has entered the late stage of Alzheimer's and their everyday life is being progressively disrupted, it is no longer safe to leave them alone.

What is the price of dementia home care?

The cost of our Alzheimer's and dementia home care services will be determined by the client's specific needs and the number of hours of service delivered.
Because all our services are tailored to your specific requirements, we cannot provide an average cost until we have reviewed your care plan.

Personal care services for someone living with dementia

It is normal for someone living with dementia to require assistance with personal care.

However, if that individual is suffering from anxiety and uncertainty about who they are, as well as shame and humiliation about more intimate activities like washing and dressing, this can be challenging.

We train our care professionals to attempt to identify any reasons for tension or ensuing hostility in someone who is living with dementia.

They provide gentle support and encouragement to put your loved one at ease.

It might be as easy as providing more room or even performing the task for them. Building trust is always important, and a consistent care professional may establish a long-term relationship and rapport. That care professional will try to help your loved one be as independent as possible, letting them make decisions about what to wear and how to keep to their daily schedules. Because more than half of our customers are living with a dementia, we provide additional dementia training to all of our care professionals. We have a number of care professionals who can assist you in supporting your loved one’s independence and provide advice and guidance if you or your family are having difficulties. If you’d like to chat with Joanne or the team about personal care services or any of the other services we provide, please contact them on 01792 588 111.
