What is 24 hour dementia care?
24 hour dementia care is a form of live-in care where carers work in shifts, so a carer is always awake and available. Care is provided continuously, including overnight. This arrangement is suitable when standard live-in care is no longer sufficient and a client requires round the clock care.
When is 24 hour dementia care needed?
24 hour dementia care is needed when support is required both day and night. This consistency is particularly important for people living with advancing dementia. Night-time waking is common with dementia and confusion, anxiety and distress often increase after dark. Without overnight support risks can rise quickly and falls and medication errors become more likely. 24 hour care ensures someone is always present, reducing the risk of errors and accidents.
Immediate help and support
With 24 hour care a carer is available at all times, so help and support is immediate. Carers assist with safe movement around the home, which helps reduce the risk of falls. Medication is managed accurately and consistently and any changes in condition are noticed early. So, concerns can be escalated promptly if required.
How 24 hour dementia care supports wellbeing
24 hour dementia care is not just about safety, it is also about quality of life. Daily routines are maintained wherever possible and care is delivered respectfully and at the client’s pace. Meals are prepared according to dietary needs and personal preference. Nutrition and hydration are closely monitored.
Emotional reassurance is central to dementia care. So, familiar Alcedo carers can help build trust while consistency reduces both anxiety and distress.
