Dementia services
Duty
Dementia Services offers customers a duty service which is available from 8am to 4pm, Monday to Sunday. Customers can access support either in person at Annsbrae or by telephone. The purpose of this service is to facilitate immediate access to support the customer. For example supporting home link call outs, door alarms and any short term additional services in time of need.
Home Support
The Home Support team supports customers with a diagnosis of dementia in their own home. All Home Support visits are tailored to individual needs and are intended to support a person to live as independently as possible. Home Support provides a person centred
service supporting the individual’s physical, emotional and social needs in a creative and flexible way to enable them to live in their own home.
Community Support
Provides a high level of support for people with dementia who want to continue to live in a home environment. The emphasis is on supporting these people to participate in activities which are person centred and this is reflected in the support customers receive. This can range from attending day support activities, to doing their weekly shop, to baking.
Telecare
Telecare technology is a tool that enables individuals to remain independent at home with access to support and response when required. Providing alarms, sensors, alert reminders etc. in peoples homes allows customers to live without unnecessary intrusion into their lives. More information is available from our Occupational Therapy team, and on our Community Alarms page.
