Providing live-in dementia care within a familiar environment has a positive impact on wellbeing.
Live-in dementia care allows those living with dementia to stay in the comfort of their own home whilst receiving specialised care for their needs and condition. This personalised one-to-one support provides freedom for someone with dementia to stay within familiar surroundings and live life how they like.
It can be difficult knowing that your loved one is struggling to cope with living alone due to dementia and old age. Live-in dementia care is the perfect solution, allowing them to stay in a place they know and love without upheaving their entire life, which can be extremely stressful, especially when someone has dementia.
Our carers are fully trained in dementia care, and we encourage the use of many specialist methods and techniques to help keep your loved one content and engaged. We spend a great deal of time getting to know the person in our care – what makes them tick, what their interests are, and how they like things to be.
The Care Managers work closely with you to help us have a clear picture of the history of your loved one, and work out how best to support them with their specific needs. We work to identify what memories or activities will help to calm and reassure the person in our care. For some, it’s enjoying their favourite hobby, for others it’s about a piece of music or the need to spend time in a quiet space.
At Ashridge Home Care, we’ve been rated as Outstanding in Caring by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), showing just how important our clients are to our carers. We take all the necessary steps to ensure that your loved one is happy, healthy and cared for.
Receiving specialised care within your own home provides plenty of benefits for health, mental, physical and emotional wellbeing. Here are some of the main advantages to live-in dementia care:
Dealing with dementia can be very stressful for family members, and we understand how difficult it can be to see the effects of this progressive condition taking hold. Our in-house dementia specialist is on hand to support our carers through the changing stages of dementia, and we offer continuous help and support to family members to help you cope with the situation.
Our live-in care company can provide much-needed respite and comfort for family members. The day-to-day stresses are managed by us so you can focus on spending quality time with your loved one.
We know how important it is for people to remain in control, and having a live-in carer can be the answer to keeping a person with dementia in the home they love.
Dignity and respect are prioritised with all of our care services, meaning your loved one can remain independent and happy with professional care in the comfort and safety of your own home. Here are just some of the things our live-in dementia care service includes:
As a dementia care provider, we certainly understand how people with dementia feel often misunderstood, marginalised and isolated. And that means that they’re less likely to be able to live independently in their own communities.
This is why we made sure that everyone, from our office and management teams to our home carers are properly supported and trained when caring for someone living with dementia.
We are proud to provide Free Dementia Friends Information Sessions to our local communities with the goal to improve the understanding of dementia and reduce stigma.
It can be stressful knowing that your loved one has dementia and requires extra support. This is why we’re here to make your life easier. Simply fill in the form on this page or give our friendly team a call on 01494 917 344.
We’ll get in touch and assign a care manager to visit their home and understand their condition, speaking to family members to discuss the level of care required. We can then assign a dementia-trained carer to give your loved one their independence back.
Ashridge provided an emergency placement for me when I needed a live-in carer on 24hrs notice. This was a godsend to me as my mother had advanced Alzheimer’s and my Dad had been rushed into hospital. I really appreciated the professional approach from all the staff I dealt with and felt very supported. Ashridge found me a first class carer who was able to provide wonderful live-in care for both my parents allowing them to spend a few more months together in their home of 35 years. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ashridge and live-in care.
Choosing care is a huge decision and not something that you should take lightly. Some of these conversations can be tricky and it’s our job to make sure you feel as comfortable as possible.
We are more than happy to visit you and your family at home to discuss your situation and consider the options available to you.
