Dementia Care Services FAQ
What is dementia care?
Dementia care is tailored support for people living with memory loss, cognitive decline, or other symptoms associated with dementia. It focuses on preserving dignity, comfort, routine, and relationships while assisting with daily living tasks and emotional wellbeing. (Supported by NHS guidance on dementia care and support.)
What tasks does a dementia carer help with?
Dementia carers assist with daily living tasks (bathing, dressing, eating), medication reminders, creating and maintaining routine, managing behavioural changes, safety (e.g. preventing falls), companionship, and memory-supportive activities. Carers may also help in adapting the environment to make it more dementia-friendly.
What support and resources are available for carers of people with dementia?
Carers can access support through charities (e.g. Alzheimer’s Society, Dementia UK), local support groups, training in dementia care, respite care options, emotional support, and legal/financial advice including benefits like Carer’s Allowance. NHS and local authority services provide assistance with accessing help and planning.
Who is dementia care suitable for?
Dementia care is beneficial for those diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia, including early, moderate, or advanced stages. It helps individuals who may be struggling with memory, orientation, behaviour changes, daily tasks like dressing or eating, or require emotional and sensory support.
How do I know if someone qualifies for publicly-funded dementia care or support?
After a dementia diagnosis, you can request a Needs Assessment from your local council. If the assessment shows significant effects on daily life and wellbeing, the person may qualify for local authority support. There’s also a Financial Assessment to decide how much the individual contributes. Separately, carers can request a Carer’s Assessment.
How can dementia care be made more comfortable at home?
Small changes can make a big difference: maintaining consistent daily routines, using memory aids and signage, improving lighting, reducing clutter, using familiar objects and music, minimising noise, and ensuring carers are trained in dementia-friendly communication and care.
