What is dementia?<\/h2>\n \n

Dementia is an umbrella term for a range of progressive conditions that affect the brain.<\/p>\n \n \n

There are numerous\u00a0types of dementia<\/a>; conditions grouped under the generalised term \u201cdementia\u201d are caused by abnormal changes to the brain and normally affect the person\u2019s memory. The brain is made up of billions of neurons (nerve cells) that communicate with each other through chemical signals. If a person has dementia, these neurones are damaged, meaning these messages cannot be sent efficiently, which in turn affects all functions of the body.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n \n

    Can a dementia patient be cared for at home?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Dementia care can be provided at home from either a visiting carer or a live-in carer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When it comes to dementia care at home<\/a>, you need to know your loved one is going to be fully supported at all times. We offer flexible, person-centred dementia support on both a visiting care<\/a> and live-in care<\/a> basis. Here\u2019s an idea of what each type of care involves:<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n
