Familiar surroundings, routines and faces help people feel secure.<\/p>\n<h2>Keep routines steady<\/h2>\n<p>Regular times for meals, medication and going out reduce confusion. Visits at the same time each day from the same small team of care workers help too.<\/p>\n<h2>Make the home dementia friendly<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Good lighting, especially on stairs and at night<\/li>\n<li>Clear labels on cupboards and doors<\/li>\n<li>A large clock showing the day and date<\/li>\n<li>Remove trip hazards<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Support eating and drinking<\/h2>\n<p>People with dementia may forget to eat or drink. Care workers can prepare meals, encourage fluids and record what was eaten so changes are noticed early.<\/p>\n<h2>Look after the family carer<\/h2>\n<p>Caring for someone with dementia is exhausting. Regular visits give family carers time to rest, work or see friends.<\/p>\n<h2>Communication that helps<\/h2>\n<p>Speak calmly, use short sentences and give one choice at a time. Try not to correct or argue. Focusing on feelings rather than facts often helps when someone is confused or distressed.<\/p>\n<h2>Planning ahead<\/h2>\n<p>While the person can take part, talk about their wishes for the future and consider a Lasting Power of Attorney. Planning early makes later decisions easier for everyone.<\/p>\n<h2>When needs increase<\/h2>\n<p>Dementia changes over time. Regular reviews let us adjust visits, add support at difficult times of day and involve health professionals when needed.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<h3>Are your care workers trained in dementia care?<\/h3>\n<p>Our care workers complete dementia awareness training as part of their induction and refresher training.<\/p>\n<h3>What if the person refuses care?<\/h3>\n<p>We take time to build trust, try different approaches and involve the family.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/care\/book-appointment\/\">Book a free assessment<\/a> to talk about dementia support at
