Dementia affects more than 850,000 people in the UK and the figure does not seem to be slowing down. By the year 2051, around 2 million people would have been diagnosed with Dementia. These are more than just numbers; they represent the millions of families with loved ones who require special care and support to live a fulfilled life with dementia.

Establishing Dementia home care

With or without a diagnosis, people often need support and assistance to help them retain as much independence and live as fulfilled lives as possible. An early recognition and acknowledgement of support can help families establish care as part of the daily routine, helping those with memory loss to remain independent. With many years of experience caring for Dementia sufferers, we have developed a special way of caring for your loved ones in a unique and personal way, ensuring they receive the best possible emotional and physical support.

Bespoke Dementia care plans to give you choice & control

The right support, at the right time and in the right place, is especially important for people with dementia, to give them choice and control over the decisions that affect them. The approach we use at Bloom & Care is to discuss and implement a bespoke, collaborative Dementia Care Plan for each of our clients. This planning aims to take account of the special needs, preferences, history and sensitivities of each person we provide social care. In addition, we work with family members, GPs, dementia consultants and other health professionals to develop flexible plans for each individual.
