Dementia care at home
Dementia and Alzheimer’s care with compassion.
Empowering care for people living with dementia
Living with dementia can make everyday tasks challenging, from remembering medications to managing personal hygiene, often causing confusion and isolation. At Forest Homecare, we offer personalised care focused on safety, mental stimulation, and emotional support.
Our team will help create a calming environment and ensure your loved one feels respected and understood as they live with dementia.
When is dementia care needed?
Dementia care is for individuals who are living with dementia and need extra support to navigate daily life. As dementia progresses, your loved one will likely struggle to support themselves and meet their everyday needs as they combat confusion and memory challenges. Our care is designed to help your loved one maintain their independence, feel safe, and stay connected with their loved ones.
