Person centred Alzheimer and Dementia care
Following a diagnosis such as Alzheimer’s or other forms of Dementia, some conditions may create the need for specialist dementia care - offering reassurance to the individual and their families.
A simple change in routine or environment can prove to be upsetting and challenging for someone who’s living with Dementia. Many Families now turn to homecare rather than residential care, so their loved one can stay in the place they know and love.
Compassionate homecare services
We fully understand the challenges of living with Alzheimer’s Disease, and the difficulty in seeing a family member or loved one suffer. At HM Healthcare, we value the familiarity of home.
A specialist care package can not only enable a loved one to stay in their own home, but with the correct level of care and support services, they can enjoy their time and quality of life to a higher standard.
This is why we provide individually tailored Alzheimer’s in-home care packages. Only the most highly trained, dedicated, and passionate carers are chosen to work with our Alzheimer’s clients, in the comfort of a home environment.
Our highly trained, specialist care team can provide you with the assistance and loving support required. No matter how complex the illness or situation is, we will work closely with you and your loved one to deliver the exact level of support required.

Alzheimer & Dementia symptoms -
How we can help
memory loss
Is one of the most common and earliest symptoms of Dementia. Some may have issues remembering the day, or what activity they were doing. Familiar faces are no longer recognised. Memory loss is often frightening and overwhelming.
With many years of experience, our carers build close and trusting bonds with their clients. Providing a constant friendship and companionship to reassure and provide the Alzheimer’s home care required. They can prompt to remember certain tasks such as personal hygiene or walking the dog. They also help with stimulation of memories, with the use of photo albums and scrapbooking. At times just a chat with a friendly, trusted companion can help people remember and preserve precious memories they don’t want to fade.
becoming confused and disorientated
Alzheimer's and Dementia can cause individuals to feel unsure and confused, forgetting important details can be frightening and difficult to deal with.
Our carers provide comforting support during these moments, offering guidance and reassurance to help alleviate anxiety and provide a sense of place and wellbeing. It is important for carers to approach those with Alzheimer's or dementia with sensitivity and compassion, recognising that their memory loss is not a choice or a personal failing. Being patient, understanding and compassionate is essential in helping the person feel comfortable and safe.
withdrawing socially
Social isolation and withdrawal from friends and family are also common symptoms. Communication difficulties, and the challenge of tasks or activities can contribute to feelings of frustration and isolation.
It is very important, as carers, to understand these challenges, and to provide a very high standard of Alzheimer’s home care services. Caring support that helps maintain social connections and engagement in activities. We think it's important to be able to enjoy and to do some of the things that previously felt so natural and easy. Activities that bring happiness and quality of life. Our caring team are on hand to help - This may involve providing gentle encouragement and assistance with daily tasks, as well as forward planning for social events or activities that bring benefits and stimulation.
difficulty in carrying out daily activities
Struggling with everyday tasks, that were once easy to complete, may now seem difficult or impossible.
This often includes household tasks such as cleaning, cooking, and laundry, as well as personal care tasks such as showering and combing hair.
Our caring team provide one-to-one support with these tasks. Our specialist homecare services ensure that individuals with Dementia can continue to live comfortably and safely in their own home. At times, this may involve 24-hour care, with live-in carers. We can also provide a more flexible approach involving more domiciliary care services, tailored to the individual's needs.
Our core aim is to help the person with Dementia maintain a sense of independence and dignity. While providing the compassionate support needed to remain comfortable and safe in their home.
behavioural changes
Dementia can also influence behaviours and personality. Irritability, anxiousness, panic, or depression can form. Dementia is tough. We feel strongly that nobody should have to go through it alone.
With continued Alzheimer’s care services, support, and reassurance, we will help you navigate through this difficult and challenging time. We will be there.
Our caring team will always be kind, compassionate and understanding, enabling close bonds to form. Bonds are based on trust and companionship. Depression is common for people suffering from Alzheimer’s or other forms of Dementia, in approximately 45% of cases. This is why our carers are trained to recognise the symptoms and will always refer suspected cases to a doctor.
