There are people out there who need support for any number of reasons. It could be due to their advancing age. Alternatively, they might have a chronic disorder. Whatever the case, it’s up to us to give them the attention they need. We specialise in domiciliary care as well as various other areas.

Alzheimer’s and mid-to-late stage dementia patients can demand a lot of care. This can put a lot of pressure on caregivers and families. For example their feelings can often lead to unpleasant actions. What is vital here is to learn about how you can deal with dementia behaviour efficiently. This will help preserve the well-being of the person and also their carer.

Communication trouble

There’s one very challenging element of caring for those with dementia and Alzheimer’s. It’s the communication problems. It can be frustrating for loved ones as well as the individual. The issue is that understanding why dementia sufferers act the way they do is very hard. However, you need to keep in mind that the condition results in brain alterations. This is the first step to handling the person’s behaviour.

Our carers have experience with dementia. As a result they know about the situations that can pop up. Using their knowledge, they respond to every one calmly. Whilst caring for someone, they also show them how to carry out everyday tasks. They don’t simply tell them what to do. This can help the person to be more independent.

An Alzheimer’s or dementia sufferer may start to display aggressive behaviour. If they do, our carers know not to engage the argument. Instead, they look for the cause of their actions. This way they can remove the trigger.

Someone might have general cognitive problems. If they do, our carers will reassure and encourage them when they provide domiciliary care.

At Diamond Personal Assistant, we treat people with respect and dignity. This is true in all circumstances. Our carers are also willing to work with the family of the client. They can meet the client’s needs more easily this way.
