At Home Dementia Care Milton Keynes

Two thirds of people suffering with dementia in the UK are living at home, supported by family, friends and professional care services. It’s no longer the case that going into a residential home is the only option available to people with dementia. Rather than undergo the upheaval of a move into a care setting, many are choosing to stay in familiar surroundings with the support they need.

Francis House Homecare provides a range of care options for at home dementia care in Milton Keynes, supporting families who wish their loved ones to continue living independently.

What Kind of Dementia Care?

We offer dementia sufferers support that is tailored to their needs. At Francis House Homecare we treat the person, rather than their symptoms and our experienced carers will combine conversation, activities, personal care, and light household duties.

  • Hourly Care. Professional carers schedule visits throughout the week. Following an initial assessment, they will deliver a package of care which may include medication monitoring, personal care, cooking light meals, shopping trips.
  • Sitting Service. Carers will sit with their client or stay in the house overnight. This allows family carers to take a break and ensures there’s someone on hand at all times of the day and night.
  • Live In Care. A professional specialist in dementia care moves into the home to provide constant care and support. They provide companionship, social stimulation, personal care, and light household duties.

Working With Families

Families often get in touch with Francis House Homecare when they feel that they need extra support. We understand how difficult it can be to introduce a professional carer into the family, and we’re always clear that we don’t want to take over. Our job is to support clients and their unpaid carers in whatever way they need.

One of the ways we can help families is to offer them advice on forward planning. Instead of dealing with each new symptom as it occurs, we suggest ways in which the home environment can be simply adapted in anticpation of future symptoms. We can also help with making home an easier place for our client to navigate and manage.

Respite for Family Carers

Unpaid carers do an amazing job, but it’s important that they feel able to take a break in order to replenish their energy. We’ve found that it can also benefit clients to have a new person in their lives occasionally.

Our live in service can be used as respite care, or as a long-term solution. Our carers are carefully matched to clients and are introduced gradually. So you can take a break and relax, knowing that your loved one is being professionally cared for whilst you’re away.
