Dementia Homecare offers professional care services at home for people living with dementia. You can arrange a level of dementia care at home to suit your unique needs, from non-medical care such as help around the house and general daily living, to clinical care delivered by a medical professional. Dementia home care allows you or your loved one to remain in the comfort of a familiar environment, even if it’s no longer safe to be living entirely alone. For many, dementia homecare also allows families to have some respite if they have been responsible for delivering care for their loved one.
Our extensive experience working with people living with dementia and their families means that we understand the unique challenges posed by the onset of dementia. We use our knowledge and expertise to create a personalised care plan, allowing you to be involved in the planning process to create outcomes tailored to your needs.
The Direct Homecare Dementia team prioritise comfort, dignity and confidence when working with people living with dementia. With a combination of engagement, stimulation and social interaction, it is our aim to ensure a fulfilling quality of life. Maintaining mobility and strength is another key element when devising a care plan, allowing those with dementia to retain some independence.
Everything we do is patient centric. We put the client at the heart of every decision.
"Direct Homecare have offered us something we didn't think was going to be possible - caring for my Mum in the comfort of her own home. The support we've been offered has been second to none and we've always felt strongly that we'd like to have input in Mum's care plan, something that Direct Homecare allows us to do.
We've been really pleased with the level of service, and having a carer at home has taken a huge weight off our minds."
