When Should Someone with Dementia Consider a Care Home in Your Community?
For those with mild dementia, daily visiting care can provide the support needed, while in more advanced or severe cases, live-in dementia care offers round-the-clock assistance, and personalized support.
Some individuals may also experience additional dementia-related conditions that require complex, specialist care.
In such situations, both live-in care services and care homes should be carefully evaluated to find the best solution for their needs.
