What is Dementia Care?
Dementia Care can be given in ones personal home or in a specialist setting such as a Care Home or Nursing Home. Where dementia care takes place is very much dependent on the level and severity of the condition, and this differs greatly from person to person. Dementia is the overall name given for the variety of conditions and types of dementia that people can have which affect their cognitive functions and abilities.
Being able to identify the signs and symptoms of dementia is the first step in knowing what type of dementia care is required for yourself or a loved one. In the early stages, signs may be in the form of forgetfulness, misplacing things, or just generally struggling to complete everyday tasks that would previously be done with no issue. As a progressive condition, symptoms may worsen to include experiencing difficulties in preparing meals, remembering appointments, and controlling bodily functions.
Such symptoms can signify that it is the right time to seek full-time, professional help, such as that from a care home. In facilities such as our care home in Edinburgh, care and support from nurses is offered in a safe place around-the-clock, so no matter what time of day or night it is, residents can feel confident that there will always be someone there for them. Dementia Care in a care home ranges from help with daily tasks and medication management to therapies and encouragement with social activities.
