Dementia Care Toronto

Dementia is a scary myth with a lot of different assumptions from people who understand its scientific description. Patients who have dementia need caregiving to help them live every day safe and happy. Remember that now is the best time to arrange at-home care for dementia patients because one is more at risk of contracting Covid than other seniors.

Type of memory care we give to dementia patients

Dementia is a progressive illness that needs extensive care as the days go by. You want a team that will include various care services to offer emotional, mental, and physical support to better your health. Our list of home care for people with dementia services targets the following issues.

Safety

Caregiving for a senior with dementia involves preparing the home to be a controlled environment that ensures optimal safety. We promote safety in the home by safeguarding the space by preparing the food, managing the electricity, and taking care of all kinds of fires to ensure the client does not want self-harm while trying to get through basic chores.

We also have to drive the patient around, plan their nutritional course and be sensitive to one's social needs. Trust our team to be sensitive to all your needs to prevent and safeguard against all kinds of erratic behavior and aggression or risk habits.

Nutritional needs

Nutrition is a big part of treating dementia because it helps add a little more stability to your brain and emotions. Another aspect is that people with dementia usually have solid and uncommon cravings for sweet or spicy foods; hence, they need a dietician to layout the meal plans while ensuring excellent health. Our meal preparation strategy and long-term care will usually involve the following:

• Involving the loved one in choosing their ideal meals and cravings

• Including a wide range of healthy foods to give you a balanced diet

• Adding nutritional drinks that boost your energy and nutrition throughout the day

• Blending supplements to smoothies and snacks to add flavor and promote better health

Psychological dementia care

Your loved one has a lot of unseen pain and struggles, from deep-seated feelings of neglect to frustration trying to remember their child’s name. Driving around to their favorite destination is already a pain because they cannot enjoy the same activities and hobbies that brightened their days. This case is why it is essential to hire dementia care in Toronto that will include a range of activities and resources to one’s day, so they can continue living a bountiful life in all realms.

Emotional support

Dementia is a mentally and emotionally painful experience for both the patient and family. It only makes sense to hire a team that will allow one to spend lots of time and energy in the home, so one feels the support, affection, and encouragement to continue enjoying their life.
