Dementia is not a normal part of the aging process but evidence shows that it increases with age. This progressive condition affects the brain function thereby depreciating cognition, memory, and affects people's behaviours. Even though memory loss is common in this condition, we recognise that it affects individuals differently making each individual case unique to that person.
Currently about 944,000 are living with dementia in the UK. This equates to approximately 1 in 11 people aged over 65 years and the number is forecasted to rise further. As the number rises, so is the burden of care increasing for people living with the condition and their loved ones. So Caredew has waded in to relieve this burden through our top-notch dementia care. Our staff are competent in dementia care and in managing and supporting our clients with dementia to navigate the changes that develop through the course of the disease. We understand that changes accompanying the condition are part of the disease and do not define the person. So, our team of compassionate staff are available to provide a person-centred, dignifying care.
To achieve the best care outcomes, we at Caredew will collaborate with our clients and their families to plan and adapt our services to their changing needs to promote and maintain a good quality of life.
