How live-in dementia care works

With live-in dementia care, a professional Trinity carer will come to live with you in your home to provide round-the-clock specialised dementia care and support. Our carers are experienced and trained in caring for dementia, throughout all stages of the condition.

Before care begins, we carry out a free at-home needs assessment which allows us to understand exactly your care needs and preferences. Working in collaboration with existing healthcare professionals and your family, we are able to provide a comprehensive care plan that is tailored to your exact needs.

Different stages of dementia require different types of care. Our flexible approach to live-in dementia care means that as your needs change, so does the care that you receive.

What does a live-in dementia carer do?

Trinity carers are specially trained to provide dementia care through all stages of the condition and we are proud to be a part of the Dementia Friends initiative, meaning our team is highly trained in line with the Alzheimer’s Society.

Different stages of dementia require different types of care. In the early and mid stages of the condition, support focuses on establishing consistent routines to minimise confusion and distress, and encouraging social activity, exercise and cognitive engagement as much as possible.

In the later stages, 24-hour care that covers night time support may be required. At this stage, carers can assist with things like continence, eating and drinking, monitoring weight, night time supervision and preparing tailored meals that the person can easily consume.

No matter what your loved one’s care needs or stage of dementia, our carers can support you with:

• Personal care – such as bathing, dressing, and continence support
• Managing medication – help to administer medication and health monitoring
• Household tasks – from cleaning, tidying and doing the laundry, to walking the dog
• Meal preparation – home-cooked meals to ensure nutritional needs are met daily
• Reassurance and comfort – our experienced carers know how to ease the distress and agitation that come with dementia
• Mobility support – help to move around the home safely with hoists, wheelchairs and mobility aids
• Running errands – such as collecting prescriptions, paying bills, and doing grocery shopping
• Companionship and emotional support – for the individual and the family
• Trips out of the home – arranging and accompanying to appointments or simply a trip to the park
