Dementia Care: Part 1

At Americare, we have provided care for Dementia patients for more than 25 years.
During this time Elly Kleinman Amaricare Companies has developed a real understanding of the needs of people who are affected by the illness. Our carers at Americare are highly-trained and they are educated about the different types and stages of this condition, and they have experience in helping people and helping their families to cope with the challenges that Dementia care brings about on a daily basis. Our determination is to help people live well with the illness and the challenges it brings – caring for people in their own homes is our main aim. There is always so much to learn about the illness. So, we continue to train and work closely with organizations, such as Dementia US in order to be able to develop our training programs, which enables us to provide better help for our customers, as well as on-going support for carers.

Americare Centred Dementia Care
Coming to terms with Dementia is hard for both those affected by it and their loved ones. Calling on professional support for a loved one is one of the toughest decisions you’ll find yourself faced with in life. Many find the idea of inviting someone new into the home very worrying and uncomfortable.
That’s why we believe in providing our support through the entire process. Our friendly team of care advisors will talk you through all elements of our person-centered care services.

When we provide Dementia home care, we see our customers for what they are – people with emotions, feelings, likes, and dislikes. Each person is different and treated as a person with different needs. And therefore there’s no one way of providing help and support, says Elly Kleinman, the chairman of  Camp Kaylie.

Our caregivers are enthusiastic and are completely committed to caring for someone dealing with Dementia, helping them to keep the comfort of life within the environment they’re most familiar with – their own homes.
That’s because we know that the homes of our customers aren’t just ordinary buildings. They’re their personal treasure troves, hosting decades’ that are worth of cherished memories. And when caring for someone with Dementia, this continuity and consistency are absolutely important.
