Live in Dementia Care

We know how worrying it can be to have a loved one diagnosed with memory-related illnesses such as dementia and as the illness progresses, seeing them struggling to cope by themselves and needing extra support. VersaCare provides an affordable live-in dementia care service that allows your loved one to remain in their own home, supported by a dementia care expert.

At VersaCare, we understand that living with dementia presents unique challenges, both for the individual and their family. Our specialist live-in dementia care service is designed to provide round-the-clock support, allowing your loved one to remain in the comfort and familiarity of their own home while receiving expert, compassionate care tailored to their specific needs.

Our highly trained carers are experienced in all stages of dementia, from early-onset memory loss to more advanced cognitive decline. They offer sensitive and respectful assistance, ensuring that daily life is as comfortable and fulfilling as possible. With a focus on dignity, comfort, and personalised care, we aim to create a calm and reassuring environment where your loved one can thrive despite the challenges dementia may bring.

What’s included in our dementia care?

Here’s what sets VersaCare’s specialist dementia care apart:

Personalised Care Plans: Every person with dementia experiences the condition differently, which is why we create personalised care plans tailored to the individual’s unique needs, routines, and preferences. We work closely with families and healthcare professionals to ensure care is adjusted as the condition progresses, offering flexible and adaptive support. Our service is fully digitised so that our management team, clients and families can have access to all daily aspects of the care.

Cognitive Stimulation and Memory Support: Our carers are trained to engage individuals with activities designed to stimulate cognitive function and maintain a sense of independence. From memory games and reminiscing exercises to supporting hobbies, we focus on preserving mental sharpness and encouraging meaningful engagement.

Consistent, Familiar Faces: Consistency and routine are crucial in dementia care, which is why we ensure that your loved one will be cared for by a dedicated, familiar carer. This helps reduce confusion and anxiety while fostering a trusting, reassuring relationship between carer and client.

Specialist Dementia Training: VersaCare carers undergo specialist dementia training, equipping them with the skills to handle the complexities of the condition, such as managing confusion, restlessness, or challenging behaviours. They are also trained to recognise and respond to the emotional and psychological impacts of dementia, offering calm reassurance and support.

24/7 Monitoring and Safety: Safety is a top priority in dementia care. Our carers provide constant supervision, preventing potential hazards such as falls or wandering. By coordinating with other professional teams where necessary, they help create a safe home environment, ensuring that your loved one can live as independently as possible, while having someone on hand to assist with any issues.

Companionship and Emotional Support: Living with dementia can often lead to feelings of isolation and frustration. Our carers not only provide practical care but also offer companionship, emotional support, and encouragement, helping to foster positive social interactions and ensuring your loved one feels connected and valued.

Our specialist live-in dementia care service includes a wide range of support, such as help with daily tasks, mobility assistance, and companionship. Find out more about all of the services your caregiver will support you with.

Support for every stage of dementia

At VersaCare, we recognise that dementia affects everyone differently and that care needs change as the condition progresses. Our live-in dementia care is designed to adapt, ensuring that your loved one is always supported with the right level of care, no matter what stage they’re at.

Early stage dementia

In the early stages, maintaining independence is important, and our carers provide gentle reminders and help with daily tasks. This allows your loved one to stay in control of their routine while offering reassurance and support when needed.

Memory support: From keeping track of appointments to managing daily routines, we provide the assistance needed to reduce stress and ensure life carries on smoothly.

Keeping active and engaged: We encourage hobbies, social visits, and mental stimulation, so your loved one can continue doing the things they enjoy.

Mid Stage Dementia

As the condition progresses, your loved one may need more hands-on support. Our carers step in to provide personalised care while maintaining dignity and respect.

Managing behavioural changes: Our experienced carers are skilled in recognising and managing confusion, anxiety, or restlessness, providing a calm and reassuring presence.

Enhanced safety: We offer constant supervision to prevent falls or wandering, ensuring a safe environment both inside and outside the home.

Late Stage Dementia

In the later stages, care becomes more focused on comfort, mobility support, and maintaining quality of life. Our carers provide round-the-clock assistance to ensure your loved one remains comfortable and well-cared for in their own home.

Full-time care: Our carers handle all personal care and medical needs, ensuring that your loved one’s comfort is the priority.

Emotional and sensory support: Even in the later stages, we engage your loved one with soothing sensory activities to offer comfort and connection.

No matter the stage, we’ll be there with personalised, professional care every step of the way.

We understand that financing care can feel daunting, and we’re here to help you explore any funding options or benefits you may be entitled to.

Live in care dementia care testimonials

Our family has nothing but praise for Versacare. We have had live-in carers for nearly a year, and all have been conscientious. The office staff are really helpful and selected carers to meet the complex needs of my parents, and patiently sent us a number of carers until we found the one that was the most suited to my parents. My Dad had Parkinson's and his needs were fully met until he passed away last year. The care he received, especially in his last days, was wonderful. There was no interruption of care when he died, and now my Mum has the blessing of being in her own home, despite Alzheimer's, thanks to Versacare!

We would like to inform you of the excellent working practice Oti delivered yesterday. Oti was able to recognise a young person was struggling with his mental health. She stayed in communication with the Home Manager whilst closely monitoring the situation.

Oti's quick thinking and due diligence saved the young person from seriously harming himself. For this, we are very grateful as the outcome could have been very different.

Oti is a very competent worker. She excels in all areas but most of all the genuine interest and compassion she shows the young people. Please pass on our sincere appreciation to Oti.
