Contact usHelp with dementia from Neways at Home
Dementia is caused by different diseases that affect the brain. Dementia is not a disease in its own right, so the symptoms of dementia vary from person to person. It is actually an umbrella term which is used to describe a group of symptoms related to cognitive function.
Symptoms of dementia commonly include problems with memory, thinking, problem solving, language and perception.
There are approximately 400 types of dementia, with the most common types being Alzheimers’ disease and vascular dementia.
We understand the difficulties associated with living with dementia. More importantly, we can support your loved one to remain living independently in the comfort of their own home.
Our trusted team of CareGivers help to maintain a safe home environment for all Clients. We’ll also advise on any adaptations that will make life easier. We also work with Clients and their loved ones to provide:
At Neways at Home, we also have official Dementia Champions. We partner with the Alzheimer’s Society, so our team members are trained by experts. Every Dementia Champion delivers free information and awareness sessions to businesses and individuals across the local community. Our aim is to help more people to understand what it is like living with dementia.
If you or a loved one needs dementia care at home, Contact us today. Our team will be happy to provide more information about our homecare for those living with dementia.
A healthy diet, suitable exercise and cognitive stimulation have all been shown to have a positive impact on dementia symptoms and we work with our Clients to ensure they are getting the best possible care whilst also meeting their personal choices and needs.
Contact usRespite care is temporary care that is planned as one-off or regular visits. This may be arranged to cover a permanent CareGiver’s time off or simply extra support as and when you or your family CareGiver need it.
We could arrange a one-off visit, or regular visits giving a CareGiver a break from their regular care duties, or provide support as and when it is needed. It could be just for an hour or two, or it could be managed live-in care for a number of weeks. You may simply need companionship and security checks, or full support for someone with more complex care needs. Regardless of the duration of the package or the level of care needed, our approach is based entirely on that person’s usual routines, to make the temporary change in circumstances as easy for them as possible.
As with all new clients, we will come and spend time with them and their family in their home setting. This way we get to know them as an individual and can observe and learn their daily routines.
We will agree with the client and their family a specific care plan that addresses exactly how they would like their support delivered, based as much as possible on what normally happens.
We will then carefully match a suitable CareGiver and arrange for them to be introduced and approved before they begin delivering care. We also arrange in advance what kind and level of communication the client’s family would like during our time with them and ensure they are kept well-informed and reassured, so that they can relax in the knowledge that their loved-one is in safe hands.

We recruit, employ and retain the very best staff and they complete on-going training and development to ensure that they continue to deliver market-leading care based on best practice.
Our goal is to establish a long-term relationship with your loved one. Should your family want to request another Care Giver for any reason, we’ll search for a match until your family is happy.
We understand that a strong rapport and trust with a Care Giver is vital to a successful home care experience.
If your loved one receives care for many hours in a day or at different times of the day throughout the week, it may be necessary to schedule more than one Care Giver in a given week.
If your family requires multiple Care Givers, our goal is the same: we want you to be satisfied and happy. We’ll do what it takes to make sure we achieve that goal.
In the unlikely event of this happening, we encourage you to call the office where our friendly staff will discuss your concerns and find a replacement care worker for you as soon as possible.

Care Givers and Clients complete time sheets which are filled out and signed at the end of each visit.
Our Care Givers also write up detailed notes that are kept in the Client’s home, so you have a written record of the services that have been provided on each visit, as well as the time of the Care Giver’s arrival and departure.
Also, our itemised invoices are always sent after services are completed. This lets you ask any questions about time or date of care, and it allows us to make any schedule adjustments before your invoice is sent.
No. You choose the services you want, when to start those services and how often those services are used.
