Why choose Us
At TopTee Healthcare Services LTD, we approach dementia care with empathy, patience, and compassion. Focus on preserving the individual's dignity and quality of life while providing the support and assistance they need to navigate the challenges of dementia.
01. Understanding Dementia
Educate yourself about dementia, including its symptoms, progression, and challenges. Understand that dementia affects each individual differently and that symptoms may fluctuate throughout the day.
02. Creating a Safe Environment
Modify the home environment to reduce hazards and promote safety. Install handrails, remove tripping hazards, and use locks or alarms on doors and windows to prevent wandering. Ensure that the environment is well-lit and easy to navigate.
03. Effective Communication:
Use clear, simple language and non-verbal cues to communicate with the individual. Speak slowly and calmly, and allow plenty of time for them to process information and respond. Validate their feelings and avoid arguing or correcting them.
04. Managing Challenging Behaviours
Be prepared to address challenging behaviours such as agitation, aggression, or wandering. Use redirection, distraction, or calming techniques to help de-escalate situations. Seek support from healthcare professionals or dementia specialists as needed.
05. Medication Management
Work closely with healthcare professionals to manage medications for dementia symptoms such as agitation, anxiety, or sleep disturbances. Follow prescribed medication schedules and monitor for any side effects or changes in behavior.
