Client Profile
Age: 81
Care type: Live-in care, 24-hour support
Living situation: Living at home with family involvement
The Situation
John had been living independently in his own home for many years. Over time, however, the symptoms of dementia began to affect his daily routines and confidence.
Simple tasks such as preparing meals, remembering medication, and maintaining regular routines became increasingly difficult.
His family wanted to support him to remain at home but were concerned about his safety and wellbeing.
Changes in Daily Life
As John’s dementia progressed, his routines became more difficult to manage independently. He occasionally became confused about the time of day and would sometimes forget whether he had eaten or taken medication.
His family began looking for care that would support him while helping him maintain familiar routines within his own home.
How We Responded
AliceCare@Home carried out a detailed care assessment to understand John’s needs, preferences, and daily routines.
Care visits were arranged to support key parts of the day, helping John maintain structure and reassurance in his daily life.
Carers focused on:
Supporting familiar routines
Providing gentle reminders and reassurance
Assisting with meals and medication
Encouraging safe mobility around the home
A consistent team of carers helped John feel comfortable and build trusting relationships.
The Outcome
With regular care visits in place, John has been able to continue living in his own home while receiving the support he needs.
The consistent care team helps maintain structure in his daily routine, which has reduced anxiety and confusion.
His family have reassurance that someone is regularly checking on him and providing the support he needs.
What the Family Said
“The carers understand how dementia affects Dad and they treat him with patience and kindness. Having the same carers visit regularly has helped him feel comfortable and secure.”
