Enjoy A Happy And Fulfilling Home Life With Supportive, Specialist Care
Friendly and Reliable Care in a Familiar Environment
Most older people with Alzheimer’s or dementia would prefer to remain in their own homes for as long as possible. In fact, according to research undertaken by the Alzheimer’s Society, 83% of people with dementia said that being able to live in their own home was very important.
Our independent network of highly-qualified specialist carers help to make staying at home an option, by providing consistent daily support that keeps to a tailored care plan. Daily routines are established that help you to eat better, sleep better and enjoy familiar activities that stimulate memory and coordination. Care can be provided on a short or long-term basis, and there is also the option for pre-planned or emergency respite care, should this be required.

How Are Alzheimer’s And Dementia Treated At Home?
Dementia is a generalised term for progressive symptoms of memory loss, confusion and language or problem-solving difficulties caused by brain damage. The specific symptoms of a person’s dementia will depend on which parts of the brain have been affected and what has caused the damage; Alzheimer’s is the most common cause, but there are over 100 different types of dementia within the UK, including vascular dementia, which impacts your ability to plan and make decisions.
It isn’t recommended that an elderly person with dementia or Alzheimer’s lives alone unless they are receiving daily care and support, due to the risk of trips, falls and other home accidents.
The support that specialist dementia and Alzheimer’s carers provide includes:
- Performing household tasks, such as vacuuming, dusting and washing clothes
- Assisting you with getting in and out of the bath or shower and bed
- Preparing meals and prompting you to remember to eat at meal times
- Helping you to take medication consistently and correctly
- Feeding and taking care of your pets
- Tending to the garden
- Helping you to wash, dress, brush your hair or put on makeup
- Easing the transition back to home life after hospital stays
- Monitoring your moods and helping you avoid depressive spells or apathetic feelings by encouraging a positive outlook.
In addition to this, knowledgeable carers who are trained in the technique can administer Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST), which works by improving your memory and problem-solving skills through fun group activities and exercises. If CST would be beneficial for you, the treatment can be added to your personal care plan by your Companions of London support consultant.
As the symptoms of your condition progress, you will need more frequent visits from your dementia and Alzheimer’s home care provider. Our specialist carers can offer multiple daily visits and will always be available when you need them most. It’s reassuring to know that consistent and loving care will be provided throughout the course of your illness, no matter what happens.
