Enhancing Life Through the Right at Home GF's Dementia Support Programme
Published: 12/07/2024
Navigating Cognitive Changes with Age
As we grow older, some of us may face changes in our cognitive abilities, with dementia being a prevalent concern. Dementia encompasses a range of symptoms that can affect memory, thinking, communication, and the ability to perform everyday activities. Among the many causes of dementia, Alzheimer's disease is the most common, making up about 70% of dementia cases.
Right at Home's Commitment to Quality Dementia Care
At Right at Home GF, we prioritise delivering personalised care that focuses on the unique needs of individuals with dementia. Our Dementia Support Programme is designed to support your loved one by emphasising their strengths and aiming to reduce the impact of cognitive decline. As your loved one’s homecare requirements change, Right at Home provides consistent, trustworthy support to help them live safely and independently at home.
The Impactful Right at Home Dementia Support Programme
The Right at Home Dementia Support Programme is crafted to enhance the lives of those dealing with dementia. Using a scientifically validated assessment tool, we identify our clients' abilities, irrespective of their condition's severity. This innovative approach allows us to design engaging activities that provide mental stimulation and alleviate some dementia symptoms, allowing families to enjoy meaningful moments together.
Specialised and Personalised Dementia Care
Dementia care requires a specialized approach over time. Right at Home’s unique perspective acknowledges that every client, regardless of their dementia's progression, has the potential to interact with their environment. Our care plans are personalised to enhance the quality of life for both clients and their families by focusing on:
- Promoting Healthier Lifestyles: We encourage choices that help slow cognitive decline.

Creating Individualised Care Plans
At Right at Home, we recognize that each client has unique needs. Our care plans are customized and delivered by highly trained CareGivers who have completed specialised dementia training. When developing a care plan, we focus on three essential aspects:
- Ability: Crafting a care environment that enhances the client’s current abilities.
- Individuality: Integrating the client’s personal history, routines, and preferences into their care plan.
- Lifestyle: Setting goals and creating activities in four key areas—nutrition, socialisation, wellness, and awareness—to ease dementia symptoms.
Comprehensive Support for Families
Supporting a loved one with dementia can be both challenging and rewarding. Right at Home is here to support not just the clients but their families as well. Our care packages are designed to extend support to families, ensuring they have the resources they need.
