When is Dementia Care needed?

You might not know when dementia care is needed or how to help your loved manage their symptoms. We know it’s a difficult decision to make but there are several signs that indicate that it may be time to consider Professional Care:

  • Increased confusion
  • Disorientation
  • Noticeable changes in their mood or behaviour
  • Struggles with daily tasks
  • Unable to keep up with personal care

These aren’t the only signs of dementia but by spotting these early, you can arrange dementia care for your loved one and help manage their symptoms. For more information, take a look at our guide about the signs of aging or whether they are early signs of dementia.
