What is dementia?

Dementia is caused by different diseases that affect the brain. Dementia is not a disease in its own right, so the symptoms of dementia vary from person to person. It is actually an umbrella term which is used to describe a group of symptoms related to cognitive function.

Symptoms of dementia commonly include problems with memory, thinking, problem solving, language and perception.

There are approximately 400 types of dementia, with the most common types being Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia.

While dementia affects everyone differently, there is support available. Our Your Peace of Mind blog series offers practical information for both those living with dementia and their caregivers. Learn about the condition, set achievable goals, and plan for a future you can navigate together.

Caring for someone with dementia: the power of quality homecare

There are common misconceptions about the outcomes for someone diagnosed with dementia, which are still widely believed. Many people believe that there are limited options for people with dementia and the only choice is inevitably residential care.

However, as our understanding of the condition has increased, so has supporting evidence for in-home care for dementia patients. Studies have shown that quality care at home can have a real impact on stabilising the most common dementia symptoms. In fact, dementia homecare can even slow the progression of the condition.

Here at Right at Home Nottingham, we focus on creating personalised Client Support Plans addressing the specific needs of each individual.

Our plans prioritise three core pillars:

Healthy diet

We work with clients to ensure their mealtime is enjoyable and nutritious.

A healthy diet can help slow dementia progression. Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins—such as fish, nuts, berries, and leafy greens—support brain health. Reducing processed foods and sugars also aids in managing risk factors, promoting overall cognitive function and well-being.

Suitable exercise

We design safe and enjoyable exercise routines to promote physical and mental well-being.

Exercise benefits our Clients with dementia by improving cognitive function, mood, and overall health. Regular physical activity -- such as walking, seated exercises, or yoga -- enhances blood flow to the brain. Exercise also reduces stress and boosts energy levels. By adding exercise into daily routines, we can help slow cognitive decline and enhance quality of life.

Our Clients in Nottingham often enjoy a trip to Nottingham Castle or a walk around Wollaton Hall and Park with their CareGivers.

Cognitive stimulation

Cognitive stimulation is crucial for our Clients, helping to maintain and improve brain function.

Activities like puzzles, reading, games, and social interactions enhance memory, problem-solving skills, and mental agility. Engaging in diverse, stimulating tasks can slow cognitive decline, boost self-esteem, and improve the overall quality of life.

By addressing these crucial aspects, we empower Clients with dementia to live fulfilling lives within the comfort of their own homes.

FAQs about our homecare for dementia in Nottingham

Can a dementia patient be cared for at home?

With the right care and support from trained professionals like our Nottingham-based CareGivers, it’s realistic to manage dementia at home.

Many prospective Clients ask: ‘when should someone with dementia go into a care home?’ We believe that residential care isn’t always the answer, as many people living with dementia benefit from familiar surroundings.

We offer different types of care that work in tandem to create a personalised care plan for all stages of dementia. Speak to our team in Nottingham to discuss your specific circumstances and concerns you may have.

At what point do dementia patients need 24-hour care?

24-hour dementia care at home can be invaluable for older people and anyone struggling with the late stages of dementia. There is no specific stage at which dementia patients need 24-hour assistance, as everyone experiences the condition differently. But full-time domiciliary care can provide peace of mind whenever caring for someone with dementia becomes unmanageable.

At Right at Home Nottingham, our dementia care services are based on an agreed care schedule. If you are interested in full-time care for dementia, we can combine various types of care. We allocate specialist CareGivers across Nottingham who can incorporate dementia specialist homecare into a care plan for live-in care or 24-hour homecare.

Can someone with dementia live alone?

At Right at Home Nottingham, many of our Clients are people with dementia who continue to live independently at home.

The symptoms of dementia progress at a different rate for different people, so many can continue to live alone for some time.

In the advanced stages of dementia, live-in care or 24-hour dementia care from our CareGivers in Nottingham can offer peace of mind whilst allowing Clients to remain in their home.

Do dementia patients do better at home?

Familiar surroundings and regular routines are key to reducing distress for people with dementia. Confusion and disorientation are common symptoms of dementia, so we aim to reduce any uncertainty.

That’s why it’s ideal for our Clients to receive consistent support in the familiar home environment. Working with the same specially trained Nottingham-based CareGivers on a regular basis can provide stability and reassurance for our Clients. We are proud to help people remain a part of the Nottingham community.

Why is early diagnosis of dementia important?

There are numerous benefits of an early diagnosis of dementia.

Firstly, it provides access to crucial support and information, enabling you to plan for the future and make well-informed decisions. Secondly, early intervention may be possible for certain types of dementia, potentially slowing the disease's progression. Once you have a diagnosis, it is easier to design a Client Support Plan to address your requirements and enhance your quality of life.

Finally, receiving a diagnosis can offer clarity and peace of mind for both the individual with dementia and their loved ones. With an early diagnosis, you can be more involved with your own healthcare and homecare decisions, allowing you to live life on your own terms.
