Dementia Care in Southsea and Surrounding Areas
Support for people with dementia, and peace of mind for their loved ones.
What is dementia?
Rather than a specific condition, dementia is an umbrella term for a loss of cognitive ability to the point where it impairs or interferes with an individual’s daily life or general activities. Difficulty with reasoning, remembering, and general thinking can of course be distressing for people with dementia and those around them.
Caring for those with Dementia
Often, the loved ones of a person with dementia prefer to take charge of their care. Commendable though that is, it may be worth evaluating whether external help could benefit both the person with dementia and those around them.
With a vast amount of experience caring for individuals who have dementia, we can be a valuable source of support. From offering brief, occasional visits to monitor and assist with everyday tasks to round-the-clock care in a setting to suit individual requirements and any potential transition between the two.
There is no one correct answer when it comes to caring for a person with dementia. It affects everyone differently, and as such a person’s needs and requirements will be unique. Our experienced staff will create and implement a bespoke package to suit the care plan provided by your local authority.
What are the options for someone with dementia
The most important factor when establishing a care package must always be the safety and well-being of the person concerned. With that in mind, several care solutions could be appropriate depending on individual circumstances.
If diagnosed in the early stages, it is likely that a person with dementia can remain in their own home, albeit with some adaptations gradually introduced over time. Our team will support you in this process and can be an invaluable source of assistance when performing everyday tasks which will gradually increase with difficulty as the condition progresses.
Domiciliary or live-in care can be attractive options for people with dementia and their families due to remaining in a familiar setting with the added benefit of a trained and qualified care professional being close by to assist with medication, mobility, hygiene, and household tasks, as well as any of those smaller “as and when” requirements that may occur.
