Dementia Care

What is Dementia Care

Dementia care is all about giving you the support you need to carry on living at home.

Dementia care is condition-led support designed to assist you or your loved one in facing the specific challenges presented by dementia. At The Care Fairies, we provide dedicated dementia care to individuals in the comfortable, familiar surroundings of their own home. As a specialist dementia care provider, we train our carers to follow a routine that your loved one is used to and comfortable with, maintaining their independence as much as possible.

Dementia home care can support you with:

Condition-led care

With sleeping night care, your Care Fairies carer sleeps in your home throughout the night but is available if you need support at any time.

Responsive support

A waking night carer means your carer will stay awake throughout the night to provide specialist care whenever you require it.

Fall prevention

We’ll work with you and your loved one to ensure your home is accessible, free of trip hazards, and that they’re confident moving around.

A familiar environment

Receiving care at home means your loved one can manage and adapt to their symptoms in a familiar environment where they’re comfortable and secure.

Experienced carers

Your loved one will receive dedicated support from carers who are fully trained and equipped to care for individuals with dementia.

Emotional support

A significant part of our approach to dementia care is ensuring that both your loved one and your family receive emotional support.

Support for a condition

All our carers are fully trained to provide dedicated, condition-led support, whether your needs are straightforward or complex.

Constant reassurance

Having an overnight carer means you can go to bed each night safe in the knowledge that you’ve got someone on hand to help out in an emergency

Mobility support

Your carer can provide physical support throughout the night, such as helping you get in and out of bed and turning you over safely.

Personal care at all times

Our carers are trained to provide discreet personal care, such as helping with toileting and dressing, and can also assist with your medication.

Peace of mind for the family

An overnight carer also gives your loved ones peace of mind that you’re in safe hands, especially if you’re receiving palliative care.

Overnight Care FAQs

As with all of our care services, our overnight care is tailored to your situation. Here’s what can you expect from the different types of overnight.

Commonly known as “The 7 Stages Of Alzheimer’s”, this framework is used to measure the effects of dementia on an individual. These are as follows:
1. No impairment – Dementia isn’t detectable and there are no memory problems
2. Very mild decline – The individual may experience very minor memory problems
3. Mild decline – Cognitive problems are noticeable
4. Moderate decline – Clear cut symptoms of dementia are apparent
5. Moderately severe decline – Additional assistance is required with most day-to-day tasks
6. Severe decline – The individual requires constant supervision and professional care
7. Very severe decline – The individual loses the ability to communicate or respond to their environment

Try to understand how they feel – this is likely to be a highly confusing and upsetting time for them. Ask questions to fully understand their circumstance and offer the support they require. We are on hand to assist with support.
