Dementia Care
Living with dementia can be a bewildering experience, requiring significant lifestyle changes for the whole family. At Arden healthcare Ltd, our specialist dementia care services can provide the essential support you need during this time. Dementia care you can rely upon. Dementia care you can trust. We understand the emotional, social and practical challenges of living well with dementia. Gradually the world of the person with dementia and their family carers shrinks as the disease progresses. Maintaining a life outside of the home or indeed sharing the closeness you once had together can often become difficult. This together with the demands of practical care and support can leave you feeling isolated and exhausted.
Arden healthcare Ltd dementia care services sensitively respond to the individual needs of you and your family. Our flexible services are tailored to fit with your chosen lifestyle so you continue to enjoy the important things in your life.
You may think dementia is an inevitable ’fact’ of aging. This is not true. Age does not cause dementia, although the risk does significantly increase with age. Dementia can affect younger adults as well as older people.
There are currently about 850.000 people living with dementia in the UK and this figure is expected to rise to one million by 2025. Around 17,000 people under the age of 65 years have a form of dementia. About a quarter of people between the ages of 70 and 79 years are affected and this rises to one in six for people who are over 80 years of age.

We know how important it is to provide person centred care and support to all of our customers, particularly those suffering from cognitive impairments such as Alzheimer’s disease. Most people with this progressive condition prefer to remain in their own home for as long as possible, rather than move to residential care or nursing homes.
