More information about Dementia Care Homes

What is dementia care?

Dementia care involves round-the-clock support for someone with dementia. Many care homes across the UK offer specialist dementia care, such as reminiscence therapy and support in a memory care home. Dementia can affect people in different ways, so any care will be tailored to their unique needs.

Any care homes with this type of care offer a dementia-friendly environment, ensuring your loved one feels safe, at ease and content. Here are some of the best dementia care homes in the UK.

First signs of dementia

The early signs of dementia are very subtle and may not be immediately obvious. Symptoms will vary for everyone, however if you notice your loved one is struggling with their memory, is unable to concentrate and their personality or behaviour changes, talk to a doctor. They may carry out a dementia assessment to diagnose this condition.

Dementia care home costs

The cost of dementia care homes will vary and depend on where you live and the type of care home you choose. In comparison to residential care homes and nursing care homes, the cost of dementia care will be higher, as your loved one will need 24-hour specialist dementia support. As a general guide, the cost of dementia care each year can vary between £30,000 and £80,000.

Different types of dementia

Dementia is a general term that affects your memory, social abilities and thinking. There are lots of types of progressive dementia, including:

Alzheimer's disease

Alzheimer's is the most common type of dementia. It can seriously impact a person's ability to carry out day-to-day activities, and the most common symptoms include memory loss, decreased judgement and changes in mood, personality and behaviour.

There are a range of Alzheimer's specialist care homes located across the United Kingdom. Our team of care experts will help you find the best care home to suit your loved one's individual Alzheimer's care needs.

We have a guide dedicated to the best Alzheimer's care homes in the UK.

Vascular dementia

Vascular dementia is the second most common type of dementia and affects around 150,000 people in the UK. Common signs include difficulties with problem solving, slowed thinking and loss of focus.

If your loved one has been diagnosed with vascular dementia, opening up and talking about it together can ease any worries and fears you're both experiencing.

Lewy body dementia

Someone who has lewy body dementia may experience hallucinations, problems with understanding (like Alzheimer's), confusion and unsteadiness. These symptoms can make daily activities difficult to carry out.

Try to talk to your loved one about their preferences for a dementia care home, as it can help you find the right home for their needs.

Frequently Asked Questions about Dementia Care Homes

How long can a person with dementia live at home?

Everyone experiences dementia differently and symptoms worsen over time. Often, someone with dementia will need round-the-clock dementia support and care. You may be able to care for someone with dementia and create a safe environment for them, allowing them to continue living at home for several years.

When should someone with dementia move into a care home?

There will come a time when your loved one will need full-time support, so a dementia care home may be the best option for them. Deciding that someone needs to move into a care home is often a tough decision, but look for issues with mobility, any wandering and stress (both for the caregiver and your loved one).

What is a dementia care plan?

A dementia care plan is a useful document created by those closest to someone with dementia to ease them into their new care home surroundings. Try to include detailed descriptions of their mobility, eating patterns, typical behaviour and support needs.

A dementia plan should also include a more personal account of who your loved one is, including their interests and likes/dislikes.

How do I care for someone with dementia?

Caring for someone with dementia can be challenging and stressful, but it can also be very rewarding. Help them with everyday tasks, such as shopping and gardening. Encourage them to eat a well-balanced diet - full of fresh fruits and vegetables. People with dementia may experience problems with going to the toilet, so keep the toilet door open and look for any signs that they may need to go.

Remember - there is always support available for someone with dementia. Our care experts can find the right dementia home, tailored to your loved one's unique care needs. Get in touch today.
