Dementia Care

At New Living, we understand the unique challenges faced by those with dementia and their families, and we are dedicated to providing compassionate, person-centred care in the comfortable and familiar surroundings of their own home.

What is Dementia Care?

Dementia care is specialized support designed to help individuals living with various forms of dementia maintain their quality of life, dignity, and independence for as long as possible. It goes beyond general personal care to address the specific cognitive and behavioural changes associated with dementia. This often includes:

  • Cognitive stimulation: Engaging activities that help maintain cognitive function and memory.
  • Routine and structure: Establishing consistent daily routines to reduce confusion and anxiety.
  • Communication support: Adapting communication techniques to effectively interact with individuals experiencing memory loss.
  • Safety measures: Implementing strategies to ensure a safe home environment and prevent accidents.
  • Emotional support: Providing reassurance, understanding, and companionship to reduce feelings of isolation or agitation.
  • Personalised assistance: Supporting with daily tasks such as personal hygiene, meal preparation, medication management, and mobility, while encouraging independence where possible.

Who Needs Dementia Care?
Dementia care is suitable for individuals who:

  • Have received a diagnosis of dementia (including Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, frontotemporal dementia, etc.).
  • Are experiencing challenges with memory, reasoning, communication, or daily activities due to their condition.
  • Wish to remain living in their own home rather than moving into a residential care facility.
  • Require support to maintain their independence, safety, and well-being.
  • Whose families are seeking professional, reliable, and compassionate support to help them care for their loved ones.
