Dementia Care
Dementia presents significant emotional and practical challenges for individuals and families. Solus Support Services offers dependable, compassionate dementia care focused on safety, routine, connection, and quality of life at home.
As dementia advances, maintaining routines and communication becomes harder; the individual’s world shrinks. Family caregivers often face exhaustion, stress, and isolation providing round-the-clock care. We help ease these pressures, supporting both the individual and their caregivers.
Our flexible, sensitive dementia care is tailored to your family’s unique needs, helping you continue to enjoy important moments.

- Changes in personality, mood, or disinhibited behaviour
- Reduced ability to manage daily tasks
- Losing track of time, people, or familiar environments
