Live-in Dementia Care

Live-in Dementia care allows you and your loved ones to stay in the familiarity and comfort of your own home, helping you improve your quality of life

Dementia is a degenerative and life-limiting disease that affects brain functioning leading to memory loss, mood swings, difficulties with daily activities, problems with language and how to use words correctly or trouble speaking, mental sharpness and quickness, etc. However, everyone affected by dementia might experience different effects as everyone’s function of the brain and health condition are unique. As this condition progresses, over time the person living with it will require more help and rely more on their carers (family, support workers, etc.) to support them with daily living.

There are many different causes of dementia and many different types where each has different or similar symptoms and what parts of the brain are affected.

Dealing with a dementia diagnosis and understanding how to cope with the condition could be a stressful experience for you or your loved ones knowing that you will need to adjust to this new stage of your life. It can be a daunting task especially when it comes to finding the right carer that can support you and your loved one. Here is where our live-in dementia care comes in handy.

Alcedo Care provides bespoke live-in dementia home care plans specifically developed to your needs. No matter in what stage of dementia, our carers will provide you with the highest 24/7 quality of care in the comfort of your home.

We understand how important familiar surroundings are and all the beneficial effects they have on a person living with dementia. Continuing to live at home means that you or your loved ones will be surrounded by all your belongings and the memories you have created over the years, be close to your family, friends, beloved pet, and neighbours and can continue visiting your local cafes, bakeries, park, etc. Moreover, it gives you peace of mind and softens the symptoms of dementia, especially in the late stages of the disease.

Receiving live-in dementia care in your own home means you can continue to live life your way and keep your routines, whilst benefiting from one-to-one personal care and attention unrivalled by residential homes. We will ensure that you feel safe, stay healthy and keep your mind active with life stories, reminiscing and social engagements.

According to Alzheimer’s Research UK currently, around 944,000 people are living with dementia in the UK and the prognosis is that by 2025 the number will rise to over a million people as the longevity of life is rising.

Dementia affects people mainly above 65 years of age, however, it is not impossible to be affected by it at younger ages.  1 in 20 people under 65 have young-onset dementia, or over 70,800 people in the UK are diagnosed with it. Different types of this brain disease are more common in some age groups than others.
