"Meridian Community Care looked after my grandma very well. Especially the carer who went above and beyond, she always stayed for a chat and never left without making sure everything was completed and Grandma was safe and happy.  Some weekend carers would only pop in and stay for 10 minutes or so but I understand these are busier times. I would recommend this company and definitely the main carer!
Thank you, Meridian, for all you have done."

What is Dementia?

Dementia is a general term used to describe a group of symptoms related to cognitive decline, affecting memory, problem-solving, language, and perception. While it is caused by a range of diseases, the most common are Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia.

There are over 400 different types of dementia, and each person’s experience with the condition is unique. At Meridian Care, we work closely with clients and their families to develop care plans tailored to their specific symptoms and needs.

Caring for Someone with Dementia

Caring for a loved one with dementia can feel overwhelming, but quality in-home care can help stabilise symptoms and improve quality of life. Research shows that homecare can even slow the progression of certain dementia symptoms by fostering a healthy diet, regular exercise, and cognitive stimulation.

Our caregivers are trained to provide compassionate support, creating a safe and structured environment to help clients feel secure and engaged.

FAQs About Our Homecare for Dementia Patients at Meridian Care

Can a dementia patient be cared for at home?

Yes, dementia patients can receive personalised care at home. With the right support from our trained professionals, we help individuals stay in a familiar environment while maintaining their safety and dignity. At Meridian Care, we create tailored care plans for every stage of dementia, ensuring both comfort and consistency for the patient and their family.

At what point do dementia patients need 24-hour care?

24-hour care is often required during the advanced stages of dementia, where daily routines and safety become difficult to manage without supervision. This can vary depending on the patient’s symptoms and needs. At Meridian Care, we offer live-in and 24-hour care options to ensure peace of mind for families while providing round-the-clock support for the patient.

Can someone with dementia live alone?

In the earlier stages of dementia, many people can live independently with minimal support. However, as symptoms progress, assistance with daily tasks becomes essential to ensure safety. At Meridian Care, we provide flexible home-care services that adapt to the client’s needs, helping them remain in their homes for as long as possible.

Do dementia patients do better at home?

Familiar surroundings and routines can significantly reduce distress for people with dementia, making home an ideal place for their care. Our professional caregivers provide the necessary support to maintain a structured environment, enabling patients to feel safe and secure while alleviating the stress of change.
