What is dementia care?

Dementia care is essentially helping you or a relative with the support they need to carry on living in their own home. Our caregivers always work to follow a routine that you’re used to and comfortable with, maintaining independence as much as possible, and always promoting the highest standard of care for the person they’re supporting.

Dementia home care

Whether you just need someone to check on your loved one first thing in the morning and help with personal care or breakfast, or round-the-clock care to make sure they’re safe during the night, you can be assured that our fully-trained caregivers will be on hand to help whenever you need them.

They can also assist with other areas, such as:

  • Medication support
  • Helping with mobility
  • Facilitating hobbies, activities, and social interaction
  • Meal Preparation and tending to light household tasks

I’m so pleased with Care Plus. This service gives me “freedom” two days per week which I’ve needed for a long time. I can trust Care Plus for any time off I might need periodically – I’m very pleased with the service!!!

What does Dementia Care in
Oklahoma City consist of?

Dementia is an umbrella term for a range of progressive symptoms and conditions that affect the brain and memory.

Conditions grouped under the generalised term “dementia” are caused by abnormal changes to the brain. 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 effects all functions of the body.

These effects on the body are often small to start with, but for someone with dementia they can become severe enough to affect daily life. The symptoms that someone with dementia experiences will greatly depend on two primary factors; the parts of the brain that are affected, and the disease that is causing the dementia. Consult The Alzheimer’s Association website for even more information.

How do you care for someone with dementia?2020-12-23T23:25:47+00:00

You may find that your loved one is increasingly having difficulty recalling past memories, family members, or life events.

To support them you can help communicate with them through their identity – like their background, hobbies, interests, and who and what is important to them. To help you do this, you can put together a journal or scrapbook to help you capture loved one’s memories and reminisce with them – taking a trip down memory lane.

As their condition deteriorates and they progress through the later stages of dementia, your loved one may need an increased amount of support. However, though still involving them in their everyday tasks, you will allow them to feel useful and may alleviate any negative feelings regarding their self-worth. Our home care team always aim to stay on top of any developments to provide the best possible care they can.
