Complex Care

Living with dementia can be incredibly challenging, both for those affected and their families. At Eclipse Care Group, we offer specialised dementia care through our dedicated team of compassionate Care Experts, helping your loved one maintain their comfort and quality of life at home.

What is Dementia?

Dementia is a term used to describe a range of symptoms that affect memory, thinking, and everyday functioning. It happens when nerve cells in the brain become damaged, making it harder for the brain to work as it should.

The effects of dementia can vary from person to person. In the early stages, symptoms may be mild, but over time they can become more pronounced, affecting a person’s ability to communicate, plan, and carry out daily activities.

Why Home Care Matters

As dementia progresses, familiar surroundings and routines become even more important. Staying in their own home can help your loved one feel more secure and comfortable. At Eclipse Care Group, we focus on keeping your loved one in the environment they know best, allowing them to maintain a sense of normalcy and continue enjoying the moments that matter most.

How Our Dementia Care Works

Our approach to dementia care is centred around two key principles:

1. Managing Symptoms with Empathy: We provide practical support to help your loved one manage their symptoms, whether that’s assisting with medication, personal care, or day-to-day tasks.

2. Providing Emotional Support: We understand the emotional toll dementia can take on both individuals and their families. Our Care Experts offer companionship and a listening ear, ensuring your loved one feels valued and understood.

We create personalised care plans tailored to your loved one’s unique needs and lifestyle, helping them maintain as much independence as possible.

Creating Personalised Care Plans

We know that dementia affects everyone differently. That’s why we take the time to get to know your loved one and understand their unique preferences and challenges.

The first step is arranging a home visit to learn more about your loved one’s needs, routines, and personality. From there, we’ll work with you to develop a tailored support plan that ensures they receive the care they need, when they need it.
