The Impact on Families

The effects of dementia reach beyond the person experiencing it; families often face the emotional strain of balancing caregiving with other responsibilities.

What Is Dementia, and What Forms Does It Take?

The term dementia encompasses a variety of conditions that impact brain function, such as memory, problem-solving, and language skills. Alzheimer’s, vascular dementia, and Parkinson’s disease dementia are among the most common types. Each condition has its own set of symptoms, which can progress over time, making specialised care increasingly important.

Our trained care professionals at Home Instead Dorchester support individuals at every stage of dementia, ensuring they receive the care and attention they need as their condition changes.
