What is Dementia Care?

Dementia care is specialised support designed to meet the challenges associated with memory loss, cognitive decline, and changes in behaviour caused by conditions like Alzheimer’s disease. This type of care requires a sensitive approach that balances physical assistance with emotional and psychological support. Dementia care homes offer a safe environment where residents receive tailored personal care, medication management, and encouragement to stay as active and engaged as possible within their abilities.

Unlike typical residential care, dementia care homes place strong emphasis on memory support, routine, and creating familiarity to enhance comfort and reduce distress. Staff in these homes are specially trained to understand the progression and symptoms of dementia, adapting approaches to meet evolving care needs and ensure the highest quality of life possible.
