Understanding Alzheimer's

Alzheimer’s is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects millions of people, often beginning with memory loss and leading to other cognitive and behavioural changes over time. Our experience and our expertly trained Care Professionals enable us to effectively  support our clients as their needs evolve over time.

Can you care for someone with Alzheimer's at home?

Yes, it is possible to provide at-home care for people living with Alzheimer’s disease. Compassionate in-home care delivered by a familiar team of Care Professionals provides security and continuity, enabling individual clients needs to be met in the place they feel most comfortable. 

In-home care includes a wide range of services provided in the home, rather than in a residential care community. It can allow a person with Alzheimer’s or other dementia to stay in his or her own home; their safe place.

To make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible, careful planning and thought need to be devoted to developing and delivering an effective, person centred care plan. Don’t forget, you don’t have to do it alone; professional support is available if needed.

Care Professional Qualifications

Our care professionals are trained by us and all of them have completed our unique City and Guilds accredited training programme. This programme is designed to enable them to effectively  support and care for people living with Alzheimer’s Disease and other forms of dementia. Many of them  have cared for a loved one who lived with dementia and they all have been recruited on the basis of our “Mum Test”. 

The “Mum Test “ is very simple; would we have this person care for our  mum or loved one. We use this simple test because every client is someone’s mum, dad ,aunt, uncle or other loved one and we want to use the same test we would apply to our loved one to every client.

Comprehensive Care for Dementia

Our approach to dementia care is to understand how we can maintain independence at home. It’s about understanding how a client is compromised by their dementia and tailoring care and support to meet their very specific needs. We want to ensure that we do not undermine independence and deliver care and support that is specific  to a client’s strengths and capabilities.

Of course those capabilities may change over time and we are adapting our care and support to those changing needs.
