Help with Dementia at Home
Moving into a care home can be very daunting and often upsetting for individuals living with dementia as not only does it mean a change in environment but it also leads to a change in routine and home comforts. For this reason, it is becoming increasingly common for families across the UK to opt for home care over residential care.
At Hands on Care, we have been supporting families across Telford, Shrewsbury, Staffordshire and Wolverhampton with dementia home care for more than 10 years. Our personal care services are tailored to your individual needs and are designed to reduce the effects of dementia, whilst providing reassurance to the individual and their families.
Familiarity and a Friendly Face with Dementia Care
Dementia can cause confusion, forgetfulness and can lead to restlessness, making individuals more vulnerable to falls and accidents. The team here at Hands on Care can provide the support needed to enable individuals to continue living a safe, happy and comfortable life at home. Familiarity is key for people living with dementia and so we do everything that we can to create a safe and welcoming home.
Should you choose us as your personal care provider, we will take the time to get to know you and your loved one before creating a tailored care plan. We’ll learn about your loved ones past, their relationships, their hobbies and everything else in between. We understand that when we first entre the home, we will be strangers but very quickly we aim to become a friendly face to brighten each day for you and your loved ones.
Caring for People with Dementia at Home
With or without a diagnosis, people often need support and assistance to help them retain as much independence and live as fulfilled lives as possible.
Early recognition and acknowledgment of support can help families establish care as part of the daily routine, helping those with memory loss in remaining independent.
Hands on Care Homecare Services have developed a leading dementia care service with a practical attitude to the bespoke needs of our clients.
Our approach enables our carers to provide personalised care that –
- Enables your loved one to remain at home
- Builds confidence and encourages engagement
- Provides nutritious meals and mealtime activities encouraging healthy eating
- Creates opportunities for social interaction
- Provides stimulating activities
- Builds self-esteem and enhances physical strength
- Helps to understand their different behaviours and requirements

You can rest assured that you will have the right team in place to look after your loved one with dementia.
