Compassionate Dementia Support Programme Tailored to Your Needs
Published: 19/08/2024
As we age, some individuals may notice changes in their cognitive functions. These changes can arise from various factors, with dementia being the most widely recognised cause. Dementia is a collection of symptoms affecting memory, thinking, communication, and daily living skills. Among the numerous causes of dementia, Alzheimer’s disease is the most common, representing about 70% of all dementia cases.
The Right at Home Approach to Dementia Care
At Right at Home Alton & Bordon, we are dedicated to providing care that prioritises the unique needs of individuals with dementia. Our Dementia Support Programme is designed to highlight and nurture your loved one's abilities while working to reduce the impact of cognitive decline. As the care needs of your loved one evolve, Right at Home remains a reliable partner in ensuring their safety and independence at home by delivering person centred homecare services.
How the Right at Home Dementia Support Programme Makes a Difference
The Right at Home Dementia Support Programme is focused on improving the quality of life for those living with dementia. By using a scientifically validated assessment tool, we can identify and enhance our clients' abilities, no matter the severity of their condition. This innovative method allows us to create meaningful activities that stimulate the mind and mitigate some dementia symptoms, helping families enjoy precious moments with their loved ones.
Tailored and Specialised Dementia Care
Effective dementia care requires a specialised and individualised approach. At Right at Home, we believe that every client, regardless of the stage of their dementia, has the potential to engage with their environment. Our care plans are meticulously crafted to enhance the quality of life for clients and their families, emphasising:
- Healthier Lifestyle Choices: Encouraging habits that help slow cognitive decline.

Customising Care Plans to Fit Individual Needs
At Right at Home, we understand that each client is unique. Our care plans are personalised and implemented by exceptional CareGivers trained in dementia care. When developing a care plan, we focus on three critical elements:
- Ability: Creating an environment that maximizes the client’s current abilities.
- Individuality: Incorporating the client’s life story, routines, and preferences into their care.
- Lifestyle: Setting goals and designing activities in four main areas—nutrition, socialisation, wellness, and awareness—to alleviate dementia symptoms.
