Dementia describes different brain disorders that trigger a loss of brain function. These conditions are all usually progressive and worsen over time. Symptoms of dementia include memory loss, confusion and problems with speech.
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia, affecting between 50 and 75 per cent of those diagnosed. Other types of dementia include vascular dementia affecting up to 20 per cent of those diagnosed, frontotemporal dementia affecting 2 per cent and dementia with Lewy bodies between 10 and 15 per cent.

Dementia Care
Caring for someone with dementia takes a physical, emotional and mental toll. But with experienced and trained carers, PentaCare is here to help you with whatever you need.
Our activity coordinators play a vital role in supporting our clients’ hobbies and social engagements, enhancing their quality of life and fostering a sense of independence and joy.
If your loved one has been diagnosed with dementia, you may find they need extra support with daily life at home. We believe receiving Dementia Home Care helps keep some continuity as other things change.
Leaving the beloved home filled with familiarity and memories can be unsettling at the best of times but can bring added concern to a loved one living with dementia. Remaining at home surrounded by treasured things where your loved one can continue their usual routines can promote feelings of comfort and safety.
We offer flexible, person-centred dementia support on both a visiting care and live-in care basis. Here’s an idea of what each type of care involves:
Dementia Support in Visiting care
If your loved one needs a few hours of support each day, then Visiting Care is the cost-effective solution. This includes everything from medication reminders to help go to the bathroom or simply providing a friendly face when needed.
Daily visiting Care Workers can help guide your loved one with dementia through their symptoms to improve their quality of life. They can be a highly valuable part of your loved one’s care plan when help at home is needed.
Dementia Support in Live-in care
If your loved one with dementia requires continuous assistance, why not consider Live-in Care? Live-in Care is a great solution for people who are struggling to cope with the impacts of dementia or if their dementia has progressed.
Care is provided 24/7 in the home, where your loved one often feels the most safe and comfortable. This provides peace of mind, knowing there is someone there to provide care at all times.

How a Dementia Support Worker can help?
Dementia caregivers from PentaCare can perform a range of domestic and personal care duties to support wellbeing. Exactly what your carer will support with will be bespoke to the care requirements, but common tasks may include –
Getting out and about
A dementia caregiver can drive an older person to see friends, run errands and attend their medical appointments. Or, they can arrange taxis or accompany them on public transport.
Maintain a routine
Patterns in everyday life help those with dementia know what to expect and to continue achieving some things on their own. Carers can help ensure they stick to set times for meals, bathing, and seeing friends.
Personal Care
Personal homecare incorporates washing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and continence care within your home’s comfortable and familiar surroundings.
Medication assistance
Our carers are trained to provide dedicated medication support, including helping you organise and administer it.
Housekeeping
If you’re struggling to stay on top of the housework, your visiting carer can help with this – from doing the laundry to vacuuming the stairs.
Companionship
Companionship significantly enhances both mental and physical health, serving as a crucial means to combat isolation and loneliness.
Managing symptoms
Dementia affects everyone differently, carers will be able to provide specialist support to help with anything from confusion to sundowning.
Supervision
Having someone in the home 24/7 helps prevent accidents, for example if an older person forgets to turn the oven off.

Dementia care is specialist support for people living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. It helps them stay safe, comfortable and as independent as possible at home, while receiving support that is tailored to their symptoms, routines and preferences.
Dementia care includes the same practical help as home care, but with extra understanding of memory loss, confusion, changes in behaviour, communication difficulties and the importance of routine, reassurance and familiar surroundings.
Yes, many people with dementia can continue living safely at home with the right support. Professional dementia care can reduce risks, maintain routines and provide reassurance for both the person receiving care and their family.
PentaCare can support people living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, including vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia and mixed dementia. Care is always tailored to the individual rather than a one-size-fits-all diagnosis.
Dementia care can help people in the early, middle or later stages of dementia who need support with daily life, personal care, safety, companionship, routine or supervision.
A dementia carer can help with personal care, washing and dressing, medication reminders, meal preparation, mobility support, housekeeping, companionship, outings, shopping, routine building and general day-to-day reassurance.
Yes. Carers can support with medication reminders or assistance where appropriate, as well as planning and preparing meals, encouraging hydration and helping maintain a regular eating routine.

Good dementia care focuses on calm communication, familiar routines, consistency and a person-centred approach. This can help reduce anxiety, avoid unnecessary disruption and create a more reassuring day-to-day experience.
Yes. PentaCare offers flexible visiting dementia care for people who need support at set times during the day, evening or week. This can work well for those who need regular help but do not require round-the-clock care.
