Consistent and Reassuring Homecare for People with Dementia.
At Redefine Home Care, we offer specialized dementia care within the comfort of your home through our nationwide team of experts. Our highly-rated private dementia care services are designed to manage symptoms and provide emotional support, addressing the unique challenges of living with dementia with compassion and expertise.
Service Highlights:
The Importance of Familiar Environments
As dementia progresses, it can make life outside the home increasingly challenging. Our in-home care services help maintain a familiar environment and routine, enabling your loved one to continue enjoying important moments in life. We prioritise home care over residential care, allowing your loved one to remain in their cherished surroundings. Our services are tailored to meet your family's specific needs, offering a compassionate and flexible approach.
Understanding Dementia
Dementia is caused by various diseases that affect the brain. It is an umbrella term used to describe a group of symptoms related to cognitive function, including problems with memory, thinking, problem-solving, language, and perception. There are approximately 400 types of dementia, with the most common being Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia.
What is Dementia Care?
Dementia care involves providing the necessary support to help you or your loved one continue living at home and leading a fulfilling life. At Redefine Home Care, our specialists collaborate with you and your family to create a routine that promotes as much independence as possible.
Dementia Care in Your Home
Our fully trained care assistants are available to provide the support needed to maintain a high quality of life while remaining at home. We work with you to develop a specialised care plan, whether you need someone to check on your relative in the morning and assist with breakfast, or continuous live-in care to ensure safety throughout the night.
Our Care Services Include:
Medication Management: Assisting with taking medications to manage symptoms.
Personal Care: Providing support with bathing, showering, and dressing.
Catheter and Continence Care: Ensuring dignity and comfort.
Exercise Routines: Establishing regular exercise routines to improve mood, mobility, and muscle strength.
Nutrition and Hydration: Ensuring adequate fluid intake and a balanced diet with fresh fruits, vegetables, and fibre.
Household Assistance: Helping with routine household chores and shopping to maintain your desired home life.
Companionship and Social Activities: Offering companionship and facilitating involvement in social activities.
The Benefits of Dementia Home Care
There are common misconceptions about the outcomes for someone diagnosed with dementia, with many believing that residential care is the only option. However, studies have shown that quality care at home can stabilise the most common dementia symptoms and even slow the progression of the condition. A healthy diet, suitable exercise, and cognitive stimulation have all been shown to have a positive impact on dementia symptoms. We work with our clients to ensure their care plan meets all these needs, providing the best possible care while also respecting their personal choices and needs.
If you or a loved one needs dementia care at home, contact Redefine Home Care today. Our team will be happy to provide more information about our home care services for those living with dementia.
Alzheimer's Disease
Research suggests that Alzheimer's disease may be influenced by genetic factors, lifestyle choices, and environmental factors.
Medications such as cholinesterase inhibitors (e.g., donepezil, rivastigmine) and memantine are commonly prescribed to help manage symptoms.
Alzheimer's Society UK provides support services, information, and resources for patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals.

Risk factors for vascular dementia include hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, and smoking.
Treatment may involve controlling these risk factors, such as through medication, diet, exercise, and smoking cessation.
The Stroke Association offers support, information, and resources for individuals affected by stroke and vascular conditions.
Lewy Body Dementias
Lewy body dementias include both dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and Parkinson's disease dementia (PDD).
DLB and PDD share similar symptoms, such as cognitive fluctuations, visual hallucinations, and movement difficulties.
Treatment often involves medications to manage symptoms, including medications used for Parkinson's disease.
The Lewy Body Society provides support, raises awareness, and funds research related to Lewy body dementias.
Younger Onset Dementia
Younger onset dementia refers to dementia that occurs before the age of 65.
Common causes include genetic mutations (such as in familial forms of Alzheimer's disease or frontotemporal dementia) and environmental factors.
Diagnosis and management may involve a multidisciplinary approach, including neurological assessment, genetic testing, and psychosocial support.
