Living with dementia is a big challenge for everyone involved, you do not have to embark on the journey alone. At Right at Home Reading & Wokingham District, our support services are available for people with dementia to help them live independently for as long as they can.

We want to support and educate family members on how best to care for someone living with dementia. That’s why we offer our dementia support at home, where Clients are surrounded by home comforts. Our support programme aims to help you adapt to a new normal, teaching techniques to help you get the most out of every day. We focus on promoting independence and adapting our level of support according to individual needs. 

Our role is to ensure that you can spend quality time with your loved one without worrying about the practical care they need. Our team can offer you additional help throughout your journey, helping to put you more at ease.

At Right at Home Reading & Wokingham District, Our Carers are not only there for our Clients, but also for their loved ones. When it comes to dementia support, we recognise that a community effort works best. Our team will work to understand and support a person living with dementia. 

We combine practical and physical support with emotional advice and recommendations to maximise the quality time you have together. Our specialist support programme for those with dementia is tailored to the severity of the symptoms, providing extra support where you need it most.

There is no “one-size fits all” solution to dementia care. Caring for someone with dementia is different for everyone. That’s why we take the time to understand our Clients’ physical needs and build a trusting relationship with them. We aim to engage meaningfully with our Clients, learning about their life story, their beliefs, and other important subjects that make them who they are. In doing so, we can connect with our Clients and get to know them better as people.

We ensure that our Clients with dementia are supported with all they need to stay healthy and independent for as long as possible. This includes:

1) Maintaining a healthy diet

Dementia can affect the sense of taste and make mealtimes more challenging. We stay focused on providing a balanced, healthy and hydrating diet to make sure our Clients are getting the nutrients they need.

2) Having someone to talk to

Dementia can be isolating, so we aim to give our Clients a sense of inclusion. This could include having a chat about their day, visiting friends, or perhaps a video call with loved ones. We tailor Client interactions according to the individual and their communication abilities.

3) Keeping physically and mentally active

Our Carers help to keep our Clients active through physical and mental activities, Whether it’s through a board game or a stroll in the garden. This is really important for helping our Clients to remain independent and to reduce their anxiety.

4) Practising familiar tasks

We support people with dementia to do as much as they can for themselves, to maintain their independence for as long as possible. Where necessary, we encourage our Clients to learn and remember by using simple cues, prompts and images. 

Choosing domiciliary care is about more than practical support — it’s about welcoming someone into your home and your life. We take time to pair you with a Carer who feels like the right fit. They’ll respect your routines, understand your needs, and support you to keep living the life you love.
