The benefits of dementia care in your own home

Receiving specialist home care in familiar surroundings can hugely improve the lives of people with dementia conditions. From help with cooking to respite care for regular carers, a care plan often means you are able to stay in your own home for longer.

Our carers can help with those everyday tasks that give a reassuring routine in familiar surroundings. Some of the benefits of this type of dementia care are:

  • Stay in your own home, surrounded by any loved ones or pets you live with.
  • Free up family from domestic tasks and get more quality time together.
  • Keep your independence.
  • Keeping your routine and do the things your want todo.

Live-in dementia care

Live-in care makes it possible for a person with dementia to stay in the comfort of their own home while receiving specialist care. As well as everyday tasks, your Abicare live-in dementia care package might focus on maintaining the skills and abilities necessary to keep your independence within your home.

Whatever the level of care or tasks you need, live-in care is often a cost-effective alternative to a care home. Find out more on how Abicare’s live-in services help people with dementia, including 24/7 live-in care, night sits, respite care for dementia carers, and companionship care.

What is dementia?

Dementia is an umbrella term used to describe a range of progressive neurological conditions that affect the brain. Abicare offers specialist care for all of these dementia conditions. There are over 200 subtypes of dementia, but the seven most common are:

Alzheimer’s care

Alzheimer’s is the most common type of dementia in the UK. It is a physical condition that is caused by the build-up of proteins changing the structure of the brain. Signs of Alzheimer’s tend to develop over time, affecting concentration, memory and reasoning. There is no prevention or cure for Alzheimer’s but medication is available which may help slow progression.

Get in touch for more information on Alzheimer’s home care from Abicare.

Vascular dementia care

Vascular dementia is the second most common type of dementia, and is caused by problems in the supply of blood to the brain cells. This is commonly due to a stroke or a series of strokes.

Parkinson’s dementia is a type of dementia that causes a decline in thinking and reasoning. Brain changes caused by Parkinson’s disease begin in a region that plays a key role in movement.
