CARE VISITS AT HOME Good Old Fashioned Service
ASK DEBBIE......... for help, advice and assistance Dear Debbie
My Mother has had memory problems for some time now, but has managed to cope at home on her own. However, we’ve recently noticed a more rapid decline, and she has started to behave erratically. If this is dementia, will she be able to stay at home? She’s made me promise not to put her into residential care.
Yours sincerely, Frances Jones Dear Frances
Home care is quite practicable for people with a dementia diagnosis – at least before the late stages. “Staying home” brings benefi ts from the continuity of local relationships, say with neighbours or church groups, and with familiar surroundings. It is important that the Care Provider has experience with dementia and will be able to provide a team of carers that will not chop and change frequently.
Regular visits from skilled carers can provide company, check regularly on well-being and safety, encourage adequate nutrition, and ensure that medication is taken at the appropriate times.

DEBBIE MOULTON CARE MANAGER OF BLUEBIRD CARE OFFERS HER ADVICE
Particular diffi culties may arise if your Mother has a frequent impulse to venture outside the home and is then unable to fi nd her way back, or if she becomes distressed at night time. Sometimes, life at home can be extended by employing a live in carer who will always be on hand to offer comfort, assurance and a subtle distraction at the right time. Residential care may be the fi nal solution but home care can certainly delay the day, if that’s what’s right for your Mother.
