Dementia Care

Through our Dementia Care, we empower our residents to live with dignity and comfort, providing a supportive environment where they can truly thrive

OUR CARE

What isDementia Care?

Dementia care is provided by residential homes that are equipped to cater to the needs of those with the condition.

Individuals with dementia may require additional care beyond what is offered to other residents. This can be due to memory loss, difficulty in making sense of surroundings, or perception issues.

Dementia care is designed to address these concerns by providing tailored support and assistance to residents. It becomes necessary when what is offered through residential care is no longer enough.

Who is DementiaCare For?

Access to dementia care is crucial for both individuals diagnosed with the condition and their family members. As the condition progresses, it becomes unsafe for the person living with dementia to remain alone at home.

Subsequently, this leads to a loss of independence and increased reliance on family members for support.

Caring for someone with dementia can take its toll on family members, both emotionally and physically. Seeking dementia care from reputable providers such as ACI can alleviate some of the pressure, whilst providing a sense of relief.

With access to professional care, family members can take a step back, knowing that their loved one is receiving the full care and support that they need.
