What Is Dementia and How Does It Affect Day-to-Day Life?

Dementia is a term that covers a variety of symptoms affecting memory, thinking, and social interaction. It can make it difficult for individuals to carry out everyday tasks, and over time, it can impact their independence. Alzheimer’s is the most common cause of dementia, accounting for the majority of cases in the UK. Whether it’s confusion, memory loss, or changes in behaviour, the symptoms are progressive and can be overwhelming for both the individual and their family.

In North Devon, where peaceful surroundings provide a sense of comfort, home-based care is often the preferred solution. Families want their loved ones to remain in a familiar environment for as long as possible, and that’s where our dedicated Care Professionals come in.
