Our dementia care services in Sussex Weald are designed to help manage the symptoms of dementia while allowing individuals to stay comfortable and secure in the familiarity of their own homes. We understand that recognising the early signs of dementia—whether in yourself or a loved one—can be challenging. Getting the right support early can make a meaningful difference.
What is Dementia?
Dementia isn’t one single illness, but a term used to describe a range of conditions caused by changes in the brain. These changes can affect memory, thinking, behaviour and daily functioning. We explain what dementia is and the ways it can impact someone’s life, so you’re better informed and supported.
The Benefits of Home-Based Dementia Care
Receiving care at home offers reassuring continuity and stability. Staying in a familiar environment with familiar faces helps reduce confusion and encourages positive emotional connections. This can be key to promoting wellbeing and preserving independence. Our experienced carers support everyday activities and meaningful engagement that reflect the person’s personality, history and preferences.
Personalized, Person-Centred Support
Our Chichester care team focuses on creating positive experiences through activities and interactions that help bring comfort and familiarity. From shared memories triggered by music and photos to preparing meals that remind someone of good times, we aim to make each day enjoyable and reassuring.
