Our specialist dementia care is provided by trained, compassionate and experienced Care Support Workers and Personal Assistants.
At Enfield Carers Centre we focus not only on providing homecare services, but also supporting family Carers who have their loved ones’ best interests at heart.
Our Homecare Service can help you have peace of mind, knowing that your loved one is receiving the best quality, compassionate care when you can’t be around.
All our dedicated staff are trained and experienced in how to care for someone living with dementia and use a range of best practice techniques. Our gentle and compassionate staff are able to support a person living with dementia so they can live a fulfilled and purposeful life. Our visits are never less than one hour – as a caring, quality service shouldn’t be rushed.
Our commitment to a fulfilled & purposeful life includes:Sensitive & dignified personal care – Whilst personal care relates to day-to-day tasks such as washing, bathing, dressing, undressing we feel it’s important to think beyond these tasks and so our staff also consider a person’s confidence and self-esteem: a shave, freshly painted nails, or having our hair styled how we like it makes all the difference – so our staff will make sure your loved one feels their best every day.
Safe medication management – Our staff are trained in management of medication, crucially important in supporting someone living with dementia. They can monitor and administer medication, ensuring they are effectively managed and any prescription required is ready as and when needed – putting family Carers’ minds at rest.
Companionship & keeping connected – We understand how important it is to keep connected with friends or to the local community – whether it is a local community / faith group attended for years, a stroll around a much-loved shop or sitting peacefully in a local park – our committed staff team will support people with dementia to enjoy as much outside of the home as is safe and possible to do.
Our staff are equipped with wifi tablets and can willingly help connect with family via social media/video conferencing, surfing the internet for information/hobbies etc.
Respect & Empathy – We equip our staff with extensive skills and tools such as validation techniques which involve communicating with people who have dementia in a way that acknowledges their words and actions with respect and empathy, rather than with embarrassment, anger or dismissiveness.
Listen and focus – Most importantly we listen and focus on learning about the life history of the person living with dementia. Discovering what is important to them enables us to plan activities, enabling us to develop a meaningful programme of care.
Trained and supported – Our staff receive regular dementia training, on-going coaching, mentoring and support to ensure they have the knowledge, skills and understanding to provide positive dementia care.
Wealth of experience – Our senior management team has a wealth of dementia care experience gained from a variety of settings and provide expertise and leadership to the ensure we provide the very best dementia care at home.
We know how important companionship is in life.
Our compassionate and respectful staff will be matched to not only meet the care needs of the person receiving care, but we also look to match personalities and interests.
Live-in staff will help with shopping, cooking, light cleaning, personal care, medication and outings, freeing you up to relax more. We know this makes for a fulfilling and pleasurable way of life based on friendship and companionship.
Whilst respecting privacy, our workers are also trained to support both psychological and emotional needs.
Living in familiar surroundings puts the mind at ease and reduces anxiety in people living with dementia
A live-in care worker will carefully plan all meals and will shop for the groceries as needed. They will then cook healthy, nutritious and enjoyable food according to your loved one’s likes and dislikes.
Many of our clients and staff enjoy cooking together as a shared pastime. Unlike a care home, your loved one will be able to eat as and when they like.
A live-in care worker will make sure your loved one’s home is clean, tidy and well-kept to ensure the home is looking its best every day.
Major cleaning tasks such as window, oven, carpet cleaning etc or gardening is beyond our remit. However, we’d be happy to refer a local cleaning or gardening company.
Our staff are trained and expected to be respectful of all clients’ cultural and religious values, including any particular food requirements.
We will always take into account family Carers’ views, what your loved one feels they can do and what they want to be able to do. We treat your loved ones with dignity and compassion at all times.
Research has shown that the vast majority of people would prefer to continue living in their own homes if they were to be diagnosed with dementia.
