Dementia is a progressive condition that is known for impairing a person’s cognitive abilities such as how they think and communicate. Because of its progressive nature, dementia can come in numerous forms and stages and is likely to worsen over time. It affects each person living with dementia differently, so it’s important to understand that each person’s support needs will be different too. Dementia care can be offered in a variety of settings, including residential and nursing care homes, both of which provide care and assistance at all times of the day and night.
How dementia care is provided is very much dependent on each individual, taking into consideration the stage of dementia that they are at, as well as their symptoms. The first step in identifying whether someone requires dementia care is to look out for certain signs. In the early to mid stages, dementia symptoms can include forgetting dates and appointments, finding social situations challenging, and experiencing difficulty in completing usual daily tasks.
Signs of a more advanced stage of dementia may include experiencing a loss of awareness and surroundings or struggling with mobility and communication. You can find out what kind of support you or a loved one may require by taking an assessment. Care homes are an option for dementia care and are warm and homely environments where specialised care and support are provided around-the-clock by a team of professional nurses and carers.
