Social Care Staff

A person suffering with dementia may benefit from many different services, as may their carer. If you care for a person with dementia then there is help and support out there for you as well.

The services that social care staff can provide are;

Day Care
Home Care
Respite Care
Care In A Care Home
The Delivery Of Frozen Meals At Home
Specialist Equipment And Adaptations To The Home

All of the above services are designed to help people suffering with dementia live longer and happier lives. Many of them aim to provide assistance to a person suffering with dementia. This offers the help and support that they need to remain in their home for as long as possible and live independently and safely.

There is support for carers available as well. The service mentioned above designed for carers is respite care. Respite care is designed to give carers a break from caring.

Respite care can be offer at home or in a care facility and it could be for just a few hours or for a few days. Respite care is a great way of carers caring for themselves while knowing that the person they care for has the support they need.

Social care staff can provide a lot of support. From helping with shopping and taking medication, to helping you get dressed and cook. Social care staff can extend the length of time someone can safely stay in their home considerably.

If you think that you or a loved one may benefit from the support of social care staff then contact your local social services. This will begin the process of getting the help and support that they need.
