Frequently asked questions
? Is dementia care different to Alzheimer’s care?
Alzheimer’s is one type of dementia. Our approach is person-centred, adapting to the individual and stage rather than the label.
? Will we see the same carers?
We build a small, consistent team for continuity. If someone is away, we’ll arrange known cover wherever possible.
? Can you help with medication?
We provide gentle prompts. If administration is required, we can add appropriate nurse-led support.
? How do you reduce stress or “sundowning”?
By keeping a predictable routine, soft lighting, quiet activities and a familiar face — plus unhurried, reassuring communication.
