Dementia care
Dementia care: what is it?
Dementia is a condition that affects a person’s cognitive abilities, impacting their memory, thinking, and daily functioning. As dementia progresses, it can lead to difficulties in communication, recognising familiar faces or places, and performing routine tasks. This condition is not a specific disease but rather a general term used to describe various symptoms caused by disorders affecting the brain.

They have specialised training to understand the specific symptoms, challenges, and best practices for engaging individuals with dementia. With their knowledge and experience, they can offer expert guidance on memory-enhancing exercises, emotional support, and the development of routines that maximise the individual’s cognitive functioning.
