At-Home Alzheimer's Care

Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive form of dementia that primarily affects memory, thinking, and behaviour. It’s one of the most common types of dementia, alongside vascular dementia, Lewy Body dementia, and frontotemporal dementia. People often first experience symptoms of memory loss, confusion, or changes in personality and behaviour.

We understand that a dementia diagnosis can be overwhelming for both individuals and their families. At Home Instead Enfield, our highly trained professional carers are experienced in delivering compassionate dementia care that adapts to your loved one’s evolving needs.

Person-Centred Care Planning

Each individual has a unique experience with dementia, which is why we prioritise a care plan that reflects personal interests, history, abilities, and changing needs. We work closely with families, GPs, and the community mental health team to ensure every aspect of care is considered, including help with sleep disturbance, continence support (via a continence adviser), and managing changes in body clock.

Personal Care & Safety Monitoring

Our care professionals provide gentle personal care, including help with bathing using bath seats, dressing, oral hygiene, and toileting. We also incorporate safety measures such as smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors, sensor lights, personal alarms, light sensors, and key safes to ensure your loved one’s home is safe and secure.

Cognitive and Emotional Support

We help manage confusion and promote mental engagement through memory-focused activities like memory books, memory boxes, labels and signs, reminder devices, and LCD displays. Access to natural light and safe outdoor spaces with clear walking surfaces and flower beds are also encouraged for mood elevation and routine preservation.

Enfield offers several day centres and memory cafés where individuals living with dementia can engage in stimulating activities and social interaction. These can help maintain routines and slow cognitive decline.

As a trusted home health care agency, Home Instead Enfield also collaborates with GPs, district nurses, and occupational therapists to coordinate any medical support, including physical therapy, medication management, and coordination of equipment like hearing aids, assistive technology, or mobility aids.

We understand how important it is for your loved one to maintain their dignity and independence. By choosing Home Instead Enfield, you’re gaining more than just a care agency, you’re gaining a compassionate partner who treats your family like our own.

Our compassionate team is always ready to discuss your concerns, provide guidance on Lasting Power of Attorney or Court of Protection issues, or help you access local services. Whether you need short-term assistance or long-term skilled care, we’re here every step of the way.
