Dementia care

Our team are trained in dementia to ensure that you get the best in your home

Familiarity and a friendly face with dementia care

Specialist dementia care works to reduce the effects and symptoms of dementia, whilst offering reassurance to the individual and their families.

A change of routine and environment can be very daunting for someone living with a type of dementia. That’s why more families than ever are turning to home care rather than residential care, so their loved one can stay in the place they know and love instead of nursing homes.

As one of the India’s leading dementia home care providers, our team of specialists are experienced in supporting people with dementia to live an independent life at home.

our managers and private carers have all undertaken extensive training and assessment to ensure they have all the skills to provide outstanding dementia care.

We’re helping people every day cope with the various challenges that come with dementia and memory loss. With hundreds of different strains of this sometimes-debilitating condition, and many different stages, one of our handpicked carers will maintain your loved one’s everyday routines and can ease the strain on your family – offering an alternative to care homes.

What is dementia?

Conditions grouped under the generalised term “dementia” are caused by abnormal changes to the brain. The brain is made up of billions of neurones (nerve cells) that communicate with each other through chemical signals. If a person has dementia, these neurones are damaged which means that these messages cannot be sent efficiently which in turn effects all functions of the body.

These effects on the body are often small to start with, but for someone with dementia they can become severe enough to affect daily life. The symptoms that someone with dementia experiences will greatly depend on two primary factors; the parts of the brain that are affected, and the disease that is causing the dementia.

Dementia care is all about helping you or a relative to have the support they need to carry on living in their own home. Our carers always work to follow a routine that you’re used to and comfortable with, maintaining independence as much as possible, and always promoting the highest standard of care for the person they’re supporting.

Dementia care at home

Whether you just need someone to check on your loved one first thing in the morning and help with personal care or breakfast, or continuous live-in care to make sure they’re safe during the night, you can be assured that our fully-trained carers will be on hand to help whenever you need them. They can also assist with other areas, such as:

  • Medication support
  • Helping with mobility
  • Facilitating hobbies
  • Meals and housework

alzheimers and various forms of dementia could result in memory loss and other conditions

To support them you can help communicate with them through their identity – like their background, hobbies, interests and who is important to them.

As their condition deteriorates and they progress through the stages of dementia, your loved one may need an increased amount of support. However, through still involving them in their everyday tasks, you will allow them to feel useful and may alleviate any negative feelings regarding their self-worth. At Apollo, we stay up to date with all dementia research and dementia nursing processes to ensure that we are a dementia friendly organization. Our carers look to stay on top of all developments to provide the best possible treatment.
