Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease Care
Specialist Support for Memory Loss and Cognitive Challenges
At Heart of Gold Homecare, we understand that living with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease presents unique challenges — not just for the individual, but for their entire family. Our dedicated carers provide specialist, person-centred support, helping clients maintain their independence, dignity, and sense of self, while giving families the reassurance that their loved one is safe, comfortable, and cared for.
With patience, compassion, and tailored support, we help clients navigate daily life, offering gentle guidance while preserving familiar routines and respecting individual preferences.
What is Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease?
Dementia is a general term describing a range of cognitive conditions that affect memory, reasoning, communication, and the ability to perform everyday tasks. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia, progressively impacting memory, speech, personality, and independence.
Our Dementia and Alzheimer’s Care Services Include:
- Daily Routine Support – Assisting with personal care, meals, medication reminders, and helping to maintain a structured, familiar daily routine.
- Memory Care Activities – Using reminiscence therapy, familiar music, and sensory activities to stimulate positive memories and enhance well-being.
- Companionship and Emotional Reassurance – Providing a calm, reassuring presence, reducing feelings of confusion, anxiety, and frustration.
- Safe Environment Support – Helping to reduce risks at home, ensuring a safe, comfortable environment that promotes confidence and independence.
- Family Guidance and Support – Helping families understand the progression of dementia, providing practical advice and emotional reassurance to navigate each stage.
A Person-Centred Approach to Dementia Care
We recognise that every individual’s experience of dementia is different, which is why our care is always tailored to their unique personality, preferences, and abilities. From adapting communication styles to ensuring favourite meals, familiar routines, and personal preferences are honoured, we focus on creating a reassuring, familiar environment that promotes comfort and emotional well-being.
Staying at Home — The Comfort of Familiarity
Remaining in the familiar surroundings of home can be incredibly comforting for individuals with dementia. Familiar rooms, treasured possessions, and long-standing routines help clients feel more secure, reducing feelings of disorientation and distress. Our care helps clients stay safely at home, supported by kind, experienced carers who understand the importance of patience, flexibility, and compassion.
