Dementia care services in your own home
Dementia care services in your own home
At HealthCare NZ, we know the challenges that come with caring for a loved one who is living with dementia. Our dedicated in-home, health-support services are designed to provide compassionate, tailored care for dementia patients, which supports wellbeing and quality of life for both the people with dementia and their family/whānau.
Memory isn’t the only aspect of life affected by dementia: this condition can also significantly affect physical and mental wellbeing for those who live with it, and sometimes for family carers also. Our trained support workers are equipped with the knowledge and skills to manage the complexities of dementia care, ensuring a safe and nurturing environment. We offer a range of dementia home-care services tailored to meet the needs of each individual we support, from assistance with day-to-day life to promoting good cognitive health through a range of engaging activities.
Dementia care: Our approach
HealthCare NZ’s approach to dementia care is holistic, with a focus on supporting an individual as a whole person. We work closely with the people we support and their family/whānau to design personalised care plans that prioritise their dignity and choices, making space for independence and comfort in their own home.
Tailored care plans
We know that each individual will have a different experience of dementia, so our personalised early- and late-stage dementia care plans are designed to fit the needs of each person we support. All of our care plans are individualised, prioritising the dignity, respect and the preferences of each person.
Care from expert specialists
HealthCare NZ’s compassionate specialists have the training and experience to provide expert services for dementia patients. Each of our people providing dementia care is trained to understand and appropriately address the needs and challenges that come with this condition.
Round-the-clock 24/7 support available
When we’re needed, the HealthCare NZ team can be there. We are always able to adjust the level of care we provide to respond to changing requirements and can also help with round-the-clock dementia services and supervision. Just let our team know what your loved one needs, and we’ll take care of the rest.
HealthCare NZ dementia care: What’s included
With personalised care plans created for each of the people we support, HealthCare NZ’s dementia care at home will look a bit different for each individual, but below we’ve outlined a few of the ways that we can support those living with dementia.
Personal care
Our compassionate support workers can assist with personal care and assistance like showering, dressing and medication management, allowing the people we support to live with dignity and comfort. Tailored to fit the individual needs of those we support, the HealthCare NZ team can help your loved one navigate daily routines with ease, including caring for dementia patients in their home. We provide expert dementia care in your own home, ensuring personalised support that meets both practical needs and emotional wellbeing.
Help at home
Our home-assistance services are about making sure living spaces are clean and organised. Our support workers can handle house cleaning, ensuring that the home environment stays tidy and comfortable.
Emotional support and companionship
Human connection is incredibly important for everyone – and that includes people living with dementia. Our caregivers provide meaningful companionship, offering emotional support and engaging in activities that help promote positive mental health and social connection. From enjoying conversations to assisting with hobbies and daily routines, our team is here to ensure your loved one feels valued and supported.
Deciding when to seek professional support for dementia care can be challenging. Here are some signs that it might be the right time to consider HealthCare NZ’s dementia care services:
If your loved one requires more assistance with daily tasks such as mobility, dressing, meal preparation or bathing, professional dementia elderly care can provide the support they need.
Providing care for a loved one with dementia can be emotionally and physically taxing. If stress or burnout is becoming overwhelming, seeking help is a vital step for both your wellbeing and theirs.
Confusion or disorientation can lead to safety risks, such as falls or wandering. Our professional caregivers ensure a secure environment, giving you peace of mind.
As dementia progresses, maintaining social connections can become increasingly difficult. Our services provide opportunities for social interaction, helping to combat isolation.
Significant mood swings, agitation or aggression can be challenging to manage without support. Our experienced support workers are trained to navigate these changes with compassion and understanding.
As dementia advances, care needs often grow more complex. HealthCare NZ is here to provide expert care at every stage of the journey.
