Caring for someone with dementia comes with unique challenges, but dignity must always remain at the heart of every interaction. At XTRA Care Services, our carers are trained to uphold respect, patience, and compassion throughout the care journey.
-
Create Familiar Routines: Structure helps reduce confusion and anxiety.
-
Use Respectful Language: Speak slowly, clearly, and always with kindness.
-
Involve Them in Decisions: Even simple choices help reinforce autonomy.
-
Encourage Independence Where Possible: Support, don’t take over.
-
Understand Their Reality: Empathy is key — avoid correcting or confronting.
-
Provide Gentle, Reassuring Touch: Physical reassurance can be more powerful than words.
Dementia care is about more than tasks — it’s about human connection. When care is grounded in dignity, individuals with dementia feel safer, happier, and more understood.
