Understanding Dementia
Dementia is an umbrella term used to describe a group of symptoms affecting cognitive function, caused by various diseases that impact the brain. It is not a disease in itself, which means the symptoms can vary from person to person. Common symptoms include memory problems, difficulties with thinking, problem-solving, language, and perception. There are approximately 400 types of dementia, with Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia being the most prevalent.

Caring for Someone with Dementia
There are many misconceptions about the options available for people diagnosed with dementia, with many believing that residential care is the only choice. However, increasing evidence supports the benefits of in-home care for dementia patients. Quality homecare has been shown to stabilise common dementia symptoms and can even slow the progression of the condition.
A healthy diet, appropriate exercise, and cognitive stimulation have all been proven to positively impact dementia symptoms. At Acorn 2 Oak Care, we work with our clients to ensure their care plan incorporates these elements, providing the best possible care while respecting personal choices and needs.
