Dementia care is cantered around providing the necessary support for you or your relative to continue living in their own home. As your loved one’s condition worsens and they navigate through the stages of dementia, an escalating level of support may be necessary. Nevertheless, by engaging them in their daily activities, you provide an opportunity for them to feel useful and potentially alleviate any negative emotions related to their sense of self-worth.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) emphasizes that receiving high-quality, adaptable care and support plays a crucial role in preserving independence, mitigating social isolation, preventing hospital and care home admissions, and offering support to family caregivers.
Tailored dementia care plans designed to provide you with choice and control.

Providing the appropriate support at the right time and in the right setting is particularly crucial for individuals with dementia, offering them the opportunity for choice and control over decisions that impact their lives. At LifeAid plus our approach involves engaging in discussions and implementing a personalized, collaborative Dementia Care Plan for every client. This planning process is designed to consider the unique needs, preferences, history, and sensitivities of each individual under our social care. Furthermore, we collaborate with family members, GPs, dementia consultants, and other healthcare professionals to create adaptable plans tailored to the specific requirements of each person.
Recognizing the importance of building meaningful relationships and earning the trust of our dementia clients, we ensure active engagement during every visit. Our caregivers take the time necessary to treat individuals with dementia with utmost dignity and respect. This patient and considerate approach ensures that their care needs are fully met, emphasizing the quality of care we provide.

Experienced caregivers with specialised training
When providing support to individuals with dementia, our caregivers undergo training to comprehend the profound impact the condition has on each person. This involves understanding their thoughts and emotions, as these factors significantly influence their behavior. Our caregivers are dedicated to making individuals with dementia feel valued and included, displaying sensitivity towards them as unique individuals. The primary focus is on promoting their overall well-being and enhancing their quality of life.
