We have incredible one-on-one support when it comes to looking after your loved ones as we understand that a personal approach is needed when it comes to the needs of dementia patients.

Dementia has the ability to interfere with everyday life, and it can be hard for you to see your loved one’s quality of life come into question. That’s why we here at Arbour Care can help both simultaneously put your mind at rest knowing that someone is always at hand, whilst reinstating a better quality of life with a live in carer.

Many people may not fully understand what options are available to them when it comes to care. This is something we can help you with, we believe that one of the best ways to improve the quality of life for those suffering from dementia is by having the option to stay in their own home. That way, your loved one has someone at hand 24 hours a day to help take care of their needs. Our carers will be there to help your loved with day-to-day tasks and to keep them company. We can offer them support every step of the way and keep you up to date with everything.

There may come a time when the person living with Alzheimer's disease or dementia will need more care than can be provided at home. During the middle stages of Alzheimer's, it becomes necessary to provide 24 hour care and supervision to keep the person with dementia safe.

For further detailing on the ‘correct’ time to enquire about Dementia Homecare, be sure to contact our specialists at Arbour Care.

Although Homecare is not a total requirement for those suffering from Dementia, it is a strong recommendation that they receive as much care as possible. Live in dementia care can improve mood, and decrease agitation. It allows one’s personal and medical needs to be met at night or during the day. However, nighttime can be fraught with anxiety if you are taking care of a family member.

Alzheimer's disease progressively destroys brain cells over time, so during the early stages of dementia, many do recognise something is wrong, but not everyone is aware. They may know they are supposed to recognise you, but they can't.

Overall and generally speaking, we dedicate our service to easing life for Dementia patients. Pointing out moments in which they are confused will cause further stress and won’t be progressive in a caring environment.

Even if they don't understand their error, correcting them may embarrass or be otherwise unpleasant for them. It's never a good idea to argue with a person who has dementia. First of all, you can't win. And second, it will probably upset them or even make them angry.

Our live in dementia care service is carried out by specialists that are highly experienced and trained in aiding those suffering from dementia and fulfilling the requirements of those in need to maximum efficiency.

It's common for people with Alzheimer's disease to stop eating or drinking in the later stages. At any time, about 10% to 15% of people who have it don't eat or drink enough and lose weight. This becomes more of a problem as the disease gets worse.

Our carers are highly trained in aiding those suffering from Dementia and encouraging them to follow a healthy and balanced diet. If you’d like to know more about our service, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us.

  • "We used Arbour Care to provide care for our parents while we were on holiday. Our parents were originally reluctant to have someone living in their home but eventually agreed that it was the best option. The care they received was so good, the carer cooked delicious meals (I need some recipe ideas!) she was company for Dad and made it possible for us to enjoy our holiday knowing there was someone available if anything was to happen. We would have no hesitation in recommending Arbour Care to anyone looking for care providers."

  • "Arbour provided live-in carers for my wife for six years from 2017-2023 including the pandemic. My main impression is of a very professional organisation in which owners and staff worked all the time to provide the support the client needed at as high a standard as possible. They gave equal attention to statutory requirements, care plans and staff training and never cut any corners."

    Mark

  • "The support that we have had from Arbour Care has been, quite literally, lifesaving. They found an amazing carer to look after my elderly and disabled husband, who is very experienced, kind and thoughtful. She has made an enormous positive difference to the quality of our lives and I will always be grateful to her and cannot thank her enough."
