Types of Dementia and What to Expect
Understanding the type of dementia helps families plan appropriate support.
Alzheimer's Disease
The most common type, accounting for 60-70% of cases. Progressive memory loss, language difficulties, confusion about time and place, and challenges with daily tasks.
Vascular Dementia
Caused by reduced blood flow to the brain. Problems with planning, slowed thinking, mood changes. Progression may be step-wise with periods of stability.
Lewy Body Dementia
Fluctuating cognition, visual hallucinations, movement problems and sleep disturbances. Tends to progress faster than Alzheimer's.
Frontotemporal Dementia
Affects personality and behaviour, language difficulties. Memory often less affected initially. Tends to affect younger people (45-65).
Why Families Choose Our Specialist Care
Specialist training and person-centred approaches make a significant difference to quality of life.

All carers receive comprehensive training in dementia types, person-centred care, behaviour management and communication techniques.
Consistency of Carers
Familiar faces reduce anxiety and confusion, build trust and enable carers to recognise subtle changes in condition.
Understanding Behaviours
Our carers recognise that behaviours express unmet needs and respond with patience and appropriate strategies.
Healthcare Coordination
We work closely with GPs, dementia nurses, mental health teams and other professionals for integrated care.
Family Partnership
We keep families informed, involved in decisions and provide support for family carers alongside caring for the individual.

How Our Specialist Care Service Works
From initial contact to ongoing specialist support, we guide you through every step.
Initial Specialist Discussion
Contact us to discuss the diagnosis, current challenges, family involvement and what specialist support would help.
Comprehensive Assessment
We assess the person's history, personality, current abilities, care needs, behaviours and home environment.
Person-Centred Care Plan
We create a detailed plan focusing on the person, specific approaches, activities, behaviour management and healthcare coordination.
Specialist Carer Matching
We match carers with specialist training, appropriate experience and compatible personality and approach.
Specialist Care Begins
Care starts with careful introduction, relationship building and implementation of person-centred approaches.
Ongoing Monitoring
We monitor closely through reviews, supervision and feedback, adapting care as the condition progresses.
Supporting You to Support Your Loved One
Caring for someone with dementia or mental health conditions is emotionally and physically demanding. Family carers often experience stress, exhaustion, guilt and grief. Our services support families as well as the person with the condition.
Respite and Relief
Regular professional care provides you with time to rest and attend to your own needs.
Sharing the Load
Professional support means you are not alone in managing care and difficult situations.
Maintaining Your Relationship
Professional care allows you to spend quality time as family rather than always being in the carer role.
Accessing Specialist Knowledge
Our carers can share effective approaches for managing behaviours and communication.
