We know when a loved one is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or other dementias it can be a lot to
process.
As Alzheimer’s or other dementias progress, they impact upon a person’s memory, cognitive
abilities, and daily activities. This often means individuals require professional support to maintain
their quality of life and to ensure their safety.
Specialist care services play a crucial role in providing tailored assistance, whether through
domiciliary care or live-in care arrangements. At Wisteria Care, we provide specialist care services
for people who want to remain in the familiarity and comfort of their own homes, but who need
additional support.
Our dementia care services are designed to meet the unique needs of individuals with dementia,
offering a compassionate and flexible approach to daily living. Our team of experienced, passionate
and thoughtful carers ensure that individuals receive support tailored to their specific stage of
dementia, enhancing their wellbeing and promoting independence where possible.
We treat the people we support with specialist care the way we would want our loved ones to be
cared for. By building meaningful relationships with the individuals we help, we can provide a
person-centred care plan that carefully considers the individual’s likes and dislikes, their interests,
and their medical needs.
Many people living with Alzheimer’s or other dementias want to remain in the comfort of their own
homes, but may need support as their condition progresses. Our Alzheimer’s care services offer the
perfect balance of support and independence, whilst also prioritising the wellbeing of the individuals
we support.
Dementia care services provided through our domiciliary care include:
- Personal care: Assistance with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and grooming.
- Medication management: Ensuring medications are taken correctly and on time.
- Meal preparation and nutrition: Helping individuals maintain a balanced diet tailored to their
dietary needs. - Cognitive stimulation: Engaging individuals in memory-enhancing activities, puzzles, and music
therapy. - Companionship and emotional support: Reducing loneliness and promoting social interaction.
One of the key advantages of home care is its flexibility. Care schedules can be adapted to the
individual’s needs, whether they require a few hours of support each day or more intensive care as
their condition progresses.
For those people living with advanced dementia, we also offer live-in care. This specialist care
service provides a higher level of support with a dedicated carer living in the home. This means
individuals receive continuous care, while remaining in a familiar environment.
Live-in Alzheimer’s care services include:
- Round the clock supervision and safety monitoring: Reducing risks such as falls, wandering, and
accidents. - Advanced personal and medical care: Managing complex care needs, including mobility support
and incontinence care. - Flexible routine: Establishing flexible daily routines depending on the individual’s needs on a
particular day, and ensuring their wellbeing. - Family involvement: Working closely with family members to provide holistic support and
wellbeing updates
By choosing specialist care services, families can have peace of mind knowing their loved ones are in
capable hands, receiving the highest standard of care tailored to their specific needs.
Whether through domiciliary care for flexible support at home or live-in care for continuous
assistance, specialist care plays an invaluable role in supporting individuals with Alzheimer’s and
other dementias, providing essential assistance while promoting dignity, independence, and
wellbeing.
