Dementia Care
Dementia care is condition-led support designed to support you or your loved one as you face the specific challenges presented by your dementia. At Graceden Healthcare Services, we provide dedicated dementia care to people 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.
Every case of dementia is unique. Our dementia specialist-supported carers always offer your loved one a care plan that is designed around their condition.
Our dementia care is responsive and can be adapted as your needs change, which is essential when supporting a complex medical condition
We’ll work with you and your loved one to ensure your home is accessible and free of trip hazards, and that they’re confident moving around
Staying at home for care means your loved one can manage and adapt to their symptoms in a familiar environment where they’re comfortable and secure
Your loved one will get dedicated support from carers who are fully trained and equipped for caring for customers with dementia
A significant part of our holistic approach to dementia care is ensuring that both your loved one and the family are emotionally supported
There are numerous types of dementia; conditions grouped under the generalised term “dementia” are caused by abnormal changes to the brain, and normally affect the person’s memory. The brain is made up of billions of neurones (nerve cells) that communicate with each other through chemical signals. If a person has dementia, these neurones are damaged which means that these messages cannot be sent efficiently which in turn affects all functions of the body.

When choosing a dementia care provider, it’s only natural you want to ensure your loved one is getting the very best support. As a Dementia Champion accredited provider, our managers and private carers have all undertaken extensive training to ensure they have all the skills needed to provide outstanding dementia care.
We’ve also introduced a Dementia Champion accreditation for the many qualifying carers and managers who have completed the necessary training and assessment to a high standard.

A dementia diagnosis does not mean that someone automatically loses all interest in their hobbies. However, they may need some help with facilitating these.
Your loved one could enjoy reading a daily newspaper but find it difficult to go down to their local shop, or maybe they enjoy spending time in the garden but aren’t mobile enough to be able to get out of their home by themselves. A carer can help them to live a fulfilling life as independently as possible through maintaining their favourite hobbies and routines.
We try to make arranging care simple and stress-free so that we can focus on what really matters: your care needs. Speak to our team today to begin your journey within as little as 24 hours.

Dementia care is a package of care from expert carers for individuals with a diagnosis of dementia who are no longer able to live independently at home. This type of care is to help maintain the psychological and physical well-being of dementia patients.
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. We’ve set-up a Dementia Helpline for anyone needing expert advice on dealing with the effects of dementia. Call 0330 029 1800 to speak to a specialist.

We treat our carers like family. Because they are, after all, looking after yours.
