Why us?
- Safety and security – We ensure that all our patients are safe and their location is frequently monitored at all times. Constant supervision is necessary when the patients carry his or her daily activities.
- Health – This is paramount when it comes to dementia care giving depending on the situation of the patient. Some of the patients require specialized care which is offered by a team known as the Special Care Unit. Nurses are always available to attend and administer medication to the patients.
- Personal Care – We physically take full responsibility of patients or seniors with dementia providing the suitable care and necessities they need. When your loved one is under our care you won’t have to worry about toileting, bathing, dressing or
- Social Engagement – We engage the seniors with activities during the day. Some of the activities include listening to the patient’s favorite music from years ago which at times can bring about memories of the past. An added advantage to that is that music can also reduce agitation, anxiety, and depression.
Some steps we take while caring for the dementia patients are:
- Proper preparation for Visits – This is because patients may find it hard recalling the closest faces they were used to.
- We manage our patients’ sugar intake by being cautious of what we give.
- Watching out for Caregiver Burnout – This is a situation where the caregiver experiences emotional highs and lows, extreme fatigue and foggy thinking which are all caused by prolonged stress built up while taking care of dementia patients.
- Avoiding areas which are crowded and noisy – Loud noises do confuse dementia patients adding onto their frustration thus we try to avoid noise as much as possible by engaging only in low-key activities and events.
