What happens to people diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or related dementias?
We understand that taking care of an ageing, ill family member, or a person living with a disability, can be incredibly rewarding. But at the same time it can also become an emotionally draining and exhausting experience.
As a family caregiver, your everyday activities are always in high demand. You are continually preparing meals, cleaning up, changing sheets, and offering much comfort and good cheer to everyone around you including the family member you are caring for. You manage the challenge of dealing with your own needs and personal life too at the same time, so it’s no wonder that 38% of family caregivers rate their routine as emotionally stressful.
Prestige Living Healthcare Caregiver Respite Care is here to give you, your family members and other caregivers small breaks, with temporary quality care. Whether it’s a day or a few weeks, you can find Respite Care Services at Prestige Living Healthcare to meet your loved one’s individual needs.
Our 24/7 dementia care service gives you peace of mind and reassurance that your loved one is receiving quality one-on-one care, minimising any risk or harm to them. Our clients are carefully matched with caregivers based on our expert Care Designer’s assessment. To avoid confusion for clients, we always strive for consistency when sending in caregivers so they can recognise any inconsistencies in a client’s routine and clients are comfortable receiving care from someone they trust.
Our caregivers are trained in dementia care so that they can competently deal with Alzheimer’s and related dementias. We recognise that each situation is unique. We understand how dementia can affect clients and their families as it is a difficult process for both. Nurse Next Door provides support and guidance to clients and their families in dealing with ongoing challenges and responsibilities of providing care.
