Dementia care at home
For people with dementia, orientation and day-to-day memory can be challenging. For this reason, having a routine is even more important than usual. At Caremark, we aim to permanently allocate our Care & Support Workers. A familiar, friendly face will walk through our clients' doors for every visit.
Dementia care at home from Caremark allows our clients to stay in familiar surroundings alongside their loved ones for as long as possible. This serves as the ideal alternative to residential care.
As the condition progresses, dementia can cause behavioural changes, restlessness and agitation. Repeating questions is another factor which can cause a strain on loved ones. Our visits can provide respite for those who need a break from caring. We allow people to relax, whilst they know their loved ones are being cared for.
Caremark's dementia commitment
Caremark is proud to have allocated over 2400 dementia courses to Care Workers over the last two years. Especially after shocking research by the Alzheimer's Society revealed that only 2% of people affected by dementia say home care workers have enough dementia training.
We are extremely committed to improving the lives of those with dementia. By providing personalised dementia home care across the country. Excellent quality care is not the only part of our commitment, we have been involved in a number of fundraising and awareness initiatives.
In 2015, a group of franchisees cycled from John O'Groats to Land's End. In fact Caremark raised a total of £50,000 for the Alzheimer's Society.
