Dementia Care

Sometimes it seems beyond reason.

Dementia is age related and its incidence and prevalence increase significantly with advancing years.  At the age of 65, 5% of people are likely to have dementia, while for a person in their 90’s the risk of developing dementia is 50 times greater than that of someone in their 60’s In Ireland it is estimated that 42,000 people are likely to have dementia, these figures are likely to increase to between 65,000 and 140,000 over the next 30 years

We know how frustrating it can be when reason goes out the door, especially when you are not trained to deal with it.

The emotional strain, of dealing with someone not always rational, can be quite daunting. Our  Professional Carers are trained with people, who may have bouts of dementia, in a loving and caring manner. People who are convalescing or those suffering from a serious disease who need a well-qualified carer who will become their friend at the same time, will probably choose this type of home care.
