Our team assists with meal planning, preparation, and feeding to ensure that clients receive nutritious meals that meet their dietary needs and preferences. We also encourage hydration and monitor nutritional intake to support overall health and well-being. Meal services and consultation with a dietician can also be organised to make sure your nutritional needs are met.
Cognitive Stimulation Activities
We offer engaging activities and exercises designed to stimulate cognitive function, memory, and creativity. From puzzles and games to reminiscence therapy and music sessions, we provide opportunities for mental stimulation and social interaction of clients with dementia.
Emotional Support and Companionship
Our caregivers provide companionship, empathy, and emotional support to alleviate feelings of loneliness, anxiety, or confusion often associated with dementia. We strive to create a warm and nurturing environment where clients feel valued, respected, and understood.
Safety and Environment Modification
We assess the home environment for potential safety hazards and implement appropriate modifications to reduce the risk of accidents or injuries. This may include installing grab bars, removing trip hazards, and ensuring adequate lighting for enhanced safety and mobility. Before any changes are made, we always discuss with the family to plan what is best for the client’s safety and mobility.
