WHAT IS DEMENTIA CARE? WHO IS IT FOR?
A Deterioration in cognitive function severe enough to interfere with day-to-day activities is referred to as dementia, a general phrase. It is not a single illness, but rather a syndrome with a variety of symptoms impairing thinking, memory, behavior, and day-to-day functioning. Since dementia is progressive, it usually gets worse with time.As dementia progresses, individuals may exhibit challenging and distressing behaviors that can be difficult for home care assistants and others to understand. Dementia care is designed to support individuals who are experiencing a specific condition characterised by dementia. Our carers are extensively trained to understand complex behaviors and out-of character behaviors. They have a problem-solving approach and make dementia patients. By identifying the causes of these behaviours and addressing the individual’s needs, home care assistants help reduce uncertainties or better cope with them.
