Dementia Care

Dementia care is typically needed when a person begins to experience difficulties with daily tasks and their safety and well-being are at risk. This can occur at any stage of dementia, from mild cognitive impairment to severe dementia. In the early stages, support might focus on assisting with complex tasks like managing finances or medications. As the condition progresses, more comprehensive care becomes necessary, including help with personal care, mobility, and communication. At Kestrel Grove Care Home, we offer dementia care tailored to each stage, ensuring that every resident receives the appropriate level of support.

Yes, many people with dementia are cared for at home, especially in the early stages. However, as dementia progresses, the level of care required often increases, potentially making home care challenging. It involves significant time, effort, and resources to ensure a safe and supportive environment. Factors such as safety, mobility, and the ability to manage day-to-day tasks should be considered. When home care becomes overwhelming, or if the person’s needs exceed what can be safely provided, a specialised dementia care home like Kestrel Grove can offer a supportive alternative. We provide a safe, secure, and nurturing environment designed specifically for individuals with dementia.

Deciding when someone with dementia should move into a care home is a personal and often difficult decision. It generally depends on the individual’s needs and the ability of caregivers to provide adequate support. Signs that it may be time to consider a care home include increased difficulty with daily tasks, safety concerns, significant changes in behaviour, or when caregivers are feeling overwhelmed or unable to provide the required level of care. At Kestrel Grove Care Home, we provide a secure and home-like setting where residents receive the high-quality care they need while maintaining their dignity and comfort.
