Support for family after a dementia diagnosis
If a family member has been diagnosed with dementia, you may feel anxious about what the future may hold. You may have concerns about how their health, wellbeing or symptoms will change., this can include physical, emotional or behavioural changes. You may feel worried about the best course of action to enable them to live a fulfilling life with dementia. You may have feelings of distress and guilt when it comes to finding the right level of dementia care for their needs. These feelings are all very common and there is a lot of support available for relatives of people living with dementia. Please do share with us any fears or anxiety, we will always do our very best to support you and help guide you through this journey.
Additional support is always available
At Renaissance Care we understand that living with dementia can be challenging for everyone. Living at home with dementia is encouraged and supported, however looking after a relative with dementia can feel overwhelming, and it can take its toll both physically and emotionally. There will come a time when people living with dementia need additional support:
- Maybe they are separated geographically from relatives who can’t be with them as much as everyone would like.
- Perhaps the dementia has progressed and become more difficult to manage without assistance.
- It might be that the person with dementia would benefit from increasing supervision.
- Maybe they feel isolated and would enjoy spending time with like-minded people.
Regardless of your situation, when additional support is needed, Renaissance Care is there. We can assume the personal and residential care of your family member, leaving you more quality time to spend with your relative. The transition into long-term residential care is never an easy decision but it is often the best option for the person living with dementia, as well as their loved ones.
