Dementia care
Dementia is a complex condition characterised by a decline in memory and cognitive function due to brain disease, leading to significant impairment in various aspects of an individual’s life. The effects of dementia encompass memory loss, thinking abilities, language skills, and more, often resulting in a gradual and progressive decline. Alzheimer’s disease stands as the most prevalent form of dementia. While most dementia care is undertaken by family members, the challenges and demands of caregiving can be both fulfilling and taxing.
Family caregiver's role
Care begins with family support, from emotional comfort to physical aid. Caregivers adapt to evolving needs, assisting with tasks and companionship as dementia progresses.
Balancing rewards and challenges
Caregiving offers fulfillment alongside stress, with duties ranging from simple companionship to complex care. As demands grow, transitioning to professional care becomes vital.
Professional care transition
Trained caregivers step in when family caregivers face limitations. Specialized in dementia care, they ensure professional support at home, easing the burden on families.
Our caregivers receive continuous training from Jennifer Howorth, director of Alzheimer’s South Africa – Southern Cape region. This ensures quality care, granting both individuals with dementia and families peace of mind.
