Dementia and Alzheimers

Dementia and Alzheimer’s Care

If you or your loved one is living with dementia or Alzheimer’s, our highly-trained and experienced carers provide specialist support to help individuals be as independent as possible, while living safely in their own home. We are passionate about improving the life of people living with dementia and Alzheimer’s. We believe that a diagnosis shouldn’t stop a person from enjoying a happy, comfortable and fulfilled life.

At Greenwood Homecare, we understand the challenges that can often accompany dementia and Alzheimer’s and the impact this can have on an individual and their family. We also know that dementia can affect people in very different ways. That’s why we don’t offer a one size fits all solution. We tailor our support packages around your specific requirements, which can also be adapted should your circumstances change.

Specialist Dementia and Alzheimer’s Care

When someone has dementia or Alzheimer’s, it can often become difficult for their family to provide the level of care they need. Especially when symptoms start to get worse. Routine, a familiar environment and one to one support from a specialist carer can make a huge difference to a person’s quality of life. Our friendly and empathetic carers have extensive experience of supporting individuals with dementia and Alzheimer’s, while also helping to ease the strain on their loved ones.

Consistency is incredibly important for someone living with dementia or Alzheimer’s. Providing care and support to someone at home enables the individual to remain in familiar surroundings. Homes hold so many memories and it is also where people can be near their loved ones. This all helps to stimulate memory, while helping a person to feel more confident and reassured. Greenwood Homecare’s specialist carers understand this and work hard to maintain existing lifestyles and routines, so you or your loved one doesn’t have to worry about needing to adapt to considerable change.

Providing Practical Home Support

People living with Dementia or Alzheimer’s can experience a range of symptoms. It’s therefore important that we work with you and your family to create a tailored care package that works around your specific needs and routine. Our carers can assist with a variety of tasks, including:

• Cooking
• Ironing
• Shopping
• Cooking and preparing meals
• Washing, showering and bathing
• Toileting
• Taking medication
• Housekeeping tasks

Our carers also provide valuable companionship and encouragement, and will be there to prompt, assist and reassure when necessary.
