Dementia Care

Dementia care is tailored support that enables individuals to continue living comfortably in their own homes despite the challenges posed by dementia. At Complete Homecare, we specialise in providing in-home dementia care that respects and adapts to the unique needs of each individual.

What is Dementia Care?

Dementia refers to a collection of progressive neurological disorders that impact the brain. This term encompasses various conditions that are characterised by the degeneration of brain cells, which primarily affects memory.

The brain consists of billions of neurons that communicate through chemical signals. In those with dementia, these neurons start to deteriorate, disrupting the transmission of signals. This impairment not only affects memory but can influence all bodily functions.

Common types of dementia include:

Alzheimer’s Disease: The most prevalent form of dementia, known for its significant impact on memory and cognitive functions.
Vascular Dementia: Caused by reduced blood flow to the brain, often following a stroke or series of strokes.
Lewy Body Dementia: Characterised by abnormal protein deposits in the brain known as Lewy bodies, affecting cognition and movement.
Frontotemporal Dementia: Involves deterioration of the frontal and/or temporal lobes, affecting personality, behaviour, and language.
Mixed Dementia: A condition where symptoms of more than one type of dementia occur simultaneously.

Our approach is to maintain familiar routines that your loved ones find comforting and reassuring, helping preserve their autonomy as much as possible.
