Dementia Care for Families: Support, Understanding and Live-In Help That Makes a Difference
Caring for a loved one with dementia can be an overwhelming journey, not just for the individual, but for the whole family. As dementia progresses, everyday routines, relationships, and responsibilities can all change. At U&I Care, we understand that dementia care for families is about more than just medical support. It’s about compassion, connection, and personalised help that brings peace of mind to everyone involved.
Why Dementia Affects the Whole Family
When someone develops dementia, it’s natural for family members to step in and try to provide the care they need. But the emotional and physical toll can be significant. You may find yourself balancing care with work, family life, or other commitments — while managing anxiety, confusion, or challenging behaviours from your loved one.
Common struggles families face include:
- Lack of sleep and constant worry
- Feeling isolated or unsupported
- Emotional distress from watching someone change
- Navigating care decisions and future planning
That’s why our approach at U&I Care doesn’t just support the individual — it supports you, too.
What Makes U&I Care Different?
We specialise in live-in dementia care that is tailored around your loved one’s needs and your family’s wellbeing. From the first phone call, we work with you to create a plan that respects your values, routines, and preferences — while offering practical, daily support from a trusted carer.
Our dementia care includes:
- A dedicated live-in carer who becomes a consistent, trusted presence
- Support with personal care, medication, mobility, and meals
- Culturally sensitive care, including food, language, and religious practices
- 24/7 support in the comfort of home
- Ongoing family involvement, with regular updates and collaborative decision-making
- Emotional and respite support for family carers
Because when care feels right, the whole household benefits.
The Power of Familiarity and Routine
We know that change and unpredictability can heighten confusion in people with dementia. That’s why we focus on building calm, familiar routines that help your loved one feel safe and settled.
At U&I Care, our live-in carers:
- Follow natural daily rhythms, such as regular mealtimes and sleep routines
- Encourage engagement through reminiscence, music, or faith-based practices
- Promote independence where possible, to boost dignity and self-worth
- Adapt care as dementia progresses, keeping routines and emotional needs at the forefront
Supporting Families Through Every Stage
Whether your loved one is in the early stages of dementia or requires full-time support, we’re here to help you plan ahead with confidence.
We offer:
- Early intervention support — helping families spot the signs of dementia
- Flexible care plans, from short-term respite to long-term live-in support
- Compassionate guidance around emotional impact, communication, and routine
- Specialist training and cultural awareness — so your loved one is cared for by someone who truly understands them
