Frequently Asked Questions
What routines can be put in place to help with my dementia?
Our carers can help you with your daily routines such as getting dressed, oral care, making breakfast, going for a walk throughout your day to ensure you are fulfilling your life the way you like it. We can help with writing down to-do lists, appointments or events in a notebook to make planning manageable. Didcot Home Care can implement structure and routines into your day if this is what you wish to happen.
What support will my family receive?
Your family will receive updates on your care and be informed of any issues that may arise. We understand this can be a difficult time for your family as well as yourself, therefore we can help with arranging to visit friends or family, enjoying time together.
Can I get support with making my home more safe and comfortable?
Yes. Upon creating your unique Care Plan, Didcot Home Care will carry out a risk assessment in your home to reduce any risks that may be of danger to yourself or others. If you feel that you would like certain objects moving out of the way or more accessible to you, we can help with this.
