Our services

Dementia care

We know how worrying it can be when a loved one is living with Dementia or increasing memory loss and are struggling to cope alone. Living with Dementia can be a distressing experience, requiring significant lifestyle changes for the whole family. Our specialist Dementia care services can provide the essential support you and your loved one need during this time. Anchusa Care are “Dementia Champions” and “Dementia Friends” and are committed to educating the local community about people living well with Dementia.

Our Dementia care services sensitively respond to the individual needs of you and your family. Our flexible services are tailored to fit with your chosen lifestyle so you continue to enjoy the important things in your life.

Uniquely at Anchusa Care, we have a Dementia Activity Box filled with painting, crafts and puzzles all specifically designed for people with cognitive loss. The carers use these in the community to engage with your loved ones in a way that is innovative and unique.

Living well at home with dementia

Many people living with dementia feel most settled in their own home, surrounded by familiar things and routines. Our carers help you keep those routines going, so each day feels as natural and comfortable as possible.

We start by getting to know the person, not just their diagnosis: what they enjoy, what worries them, how they like their day to run and what matters most to them and their family. This is written into a care plan that we review as needs change, because dementia is different for everyone and changes over time.

Support for your family too

Dementia affects the whole family. Our care can give you a regular break, reassurance that someone calm and kind is there, and a team you can talk to when you have questions or worries. You are welcome to call our office at any time.

How our care can help

  • Familiar faces and a patient, unhurried approach.
  • Help with daily personal care, medication reminders and meals, done with dignity.
  • Stimulating, enjoyable activities using our Dementia Activity Box.
  • Care that flexes from a short daily visit to longer visits, day or night, as needs change.
