What is Dementia Respite Care?


 
Health
Those people whose loved ones have suffered or currently suffer from dementia will know just how awful it can be. It’s a syndrome that is widely associated with a decline of the brain and its abilities. For example, the illness can have a significant impact on the person suffering from its memory, their ability to think quickly, their judgement and their understanding of things. Dementia is an illness that can encompass several conditions, including Alzheimer’s disease, frontotemporal dementia and vascular dementia; each one is characterised in a specific way.

Because of the impact this illness can have on a person’s understanding and their ability to be able to plan out their usual routines, family members often step in to provide the required amount of care; ensuring that their loved ones remain comfortable and properly looked after at a difficult time.

However, some families, because of work commitments and so on, can’t viably provide the round-the-clock care that a loved one suffering from dementia requires and deserves. Sometimes the pressure of caring for a loved one can get too much; whilst in other cases a more specialist level of care is required.

This is where dementia respite care can play a significant role.

Dementia respite care is provided by compassionate people who possess experience in catering to the needs of dementia sufferers. Those charged with providing dementia respite care can offer the specialist level of care that someone suffering from dementia might require.

Carers often lose focus of their own needs, understandably devoting themselves to looking after their loved ones. Coupled with the pressure, it can all become too much. Although they often have an overriding feeling of guilt about it, carers sometimes need a break. Dementia respite care services can help by providing temporary care – allowing the carer to get some rest, whilst knowing that the person they’re caring for is being well-looked after.

Some carers fall ill; this is unforeseeable and, quite often, unpreventable. Dementia respite care providers can offer short term care to help in these circumstances. Dementia respite care services allow the loved one suffering from dementia to continue to be cared for, and the carer to recuperate.

Due to the level of intense care required by someone suffering from dementia, both parties may feel that they need a break from each other – just a short period apart, but a break nonetheless. Organisations offering dementia respite care services can enable this to happen. Whilst some full-time carers, when looking to take a break away from caring, opt to put the person they’re responsible for in a care home to receive dementia respite care, this can often causes distress. The upheaval of moving someone away from the environment they’re used to isn’t always the best option. So, for that reason dementia respite care can prove to be highly beneficial.

The individuals responsible for providing temporary dementia respite care see the people they look after as what they are – real people with real feelings, qualities, interests and abilities, as opposed to patients.

Dementia is a syndrome that affects a considerable number of people in the United Kingdom each year. This article explains what dementia respite care is and what it can offer. Find out more about respite care at Helping Hands.
