Living with Dementia

Types of Care

Oran Dementia Care provide tailored dementia services, which enable your loved ones to live well with dementia in the comfort and safety of their own home.

LIVE IN CARERS

The majority of older people prefer to stay in their own home, including people who develop Dementia. Research shows that even where clients have complex care needs a good care package can prevent the need for residential care in almost 70% of cases. Oran Dementia Care, however, provide a real alternative to care homes. Our highly trained Live in Dementia Carers can allow your loved ones to remain in the comfort and familiarity of their own homes whilst ensuring the highest levels of support and care at all times. Your live in care will usually need a separate sleeping area and around 2 hours of personal time per day.

PART TIME CARERS

For earlier and middle stages of Dementia, early provision of support at home can greatly reduce the need for residential care. Oran Homecare staff can make several visits per day making a significant impact on the quality of daily life. Support can include assisting in tasks that are no longer manageable, spending time promoting meaningful activity and providing personal care where required. In addition Oran Dementia Care staff can help you identify useful technology such as alarm systems and day planners that can improve safety and reduce the anxiety of the person of living with dementia.

RESPITE CARERS

Short term or temporary respite from daily caring is essential to ensure the continued health and well family carers. You may be in need of a break, a short holiday or unable to provide care due to unforeseen illness. Oran Dementia Care can provide both planned and emergency respite care. All our Carers are trained and experienced in working with people with dementia, they will take the time to learn the clients care plan and ensure there is the minimum of disruption to daily routines.

EFFECT ON PERSON AND FAMILY

A dementia diagnosis can be difficult to deal with and there can be some fear and uncertainty about what lies ahead. Many changes will occur over time with increasing memory loss, mood changes and communication problems. It is important to remember that by taking the relevant steps, you can greatly improve the quality of life of the person with dementia and your family in the coming years.

HOW THIS CAN BE DEALT WITH AND IMPROVED

It is important to promote a healthy and meaningful life approach when dealing with dementia at every stage. This includes making sure the person is physically well, eats well, has the opportunity to engage socially and has purpose in their life. The deployment of interactive calendars and other tools can also allow people with dementia to understand and remain connected to the world around them.

HOW ORAN CAN HELP WITH THAT
