The many sources of support for dementia sufferers and their families

Eventually, however, many people with dementia do needthe support of a residential home. But it’s important to recognise that not all residential homes are suitable for those with dementia. An example of one that certainly is, is our sister company Bramble House, which is a 27 bedroom care home registered to provide care for older people with dementia. Its services include residential care, day care and respite care in Gloucestershire. If your loved one moves into a residential home, it can be a great help to make their room as familiar as possible by introducing favourite ornaments and furniture, as well as photos of family and friends.

Various other sources of support exist for those with dementia, from hospices that can provide the necessary palliative care to those in the condition’s advanced stages, to specialist “Admiral” dementia nurses and charities, such as the Alzheimer’s Society and Dementia UK. Online forums, like the dementia forum of Carers UK, can also be invaluable. Combined with the highly regarded dementia care in Gloucester of Bramble Home Care (http://www.bramblehomecare.co.uk), such services can help to relieve you of much of the stress and anxiety of dementia, or of caring for someone with the condition.
