Dementia Care
Compassionate, specialist support for people living with dementia — delivered at home, in familiar surroundings, by carers trained in memory care.
Specialist care for people living with dementia
Dementia affects not only the person living with the condition, but also their family and loved ones. Central Home Care provides specialist dementia care that prioritises safety, dignity, and quality of life — helping people remain at home for as long as possible, surrounded by the people and places they know.
Types of dementia we care for
Alzheimer's Disease
The most common form of dementia, affecting memory, thinking, and behaviour progressively over time.
Vascular Dementia
Caused by reduced blood flow to the brain, often following a stroke or series of small strokes.
Lewy Body Disease
Characterised by abnormal protein deposits in the brain, affecting movement, cognition, and sleep.
Frontotemporal Dementia
Affects the frontal and temporal lobes, leading to changes in personality, behaviour, and language.
Huntington's Disease
A hereditary condition causing progressive breakdown of nerve cells, affecting movement and cognition.
Alcohol-Related Dementia
Cognitive impairment resulting from long-term excessive alcohol use, affecting memory and reasoning.
Dementia care supports
Personal Care
Respectful assistance with showering, dressing, grooming, and daily personal hygiene routines.
Supervision & Safety
Monitoring and gentle redirection to prevent wandering, falls, and unsafe behaviours at home.
Cognitive Engagement
Structured activities, reminiscence therapy, and meaningful engagement to support cognitive function.
Medication Management
Prompting and assistance with medications under nursing oversight to ensure correct dosing.
Carer Respite
Planned and emergency respite to give family carers a break while their loved one is well supported.
Behaviour Support
Trained staff who understand and respond calmly to changed behaviours, agitation, and confusion.
Trained, consistent, person-centred care
Our dementia care workers receive specialist training in understanding and managing dementia. They are patient, consistent, and inclusive — always taking into account each person's preferences, history, and what brings them comfort. We match carers carefully to ensure familiarity and trust, which is especially important for people living with dementia.
When to consider extra support
Safety concerns at home
Wandering, forgetting to turn off the stove, or other risky behaviours that put the person at risk.
Carer burnout
When the primary carer is exhausted or struggling to manage increasing care demands alone.
Increasing care complexity
As dementia progresses, the level of support needed often exceeds what family can safely provide.
Social isolation
When the person is becoming withdrawn or losing connection with their community and daily routines.
