Our specially trained caregivers provide personalised, dignified support for individuals living with dementia and Alzheimer's — so your loved one can remain safe, comfortable, and connected at home.
Dementia and Alzheimer's disease affect millions of families. Navigating daily life can become overwhelming — for both your loved one and you.
At BetterHands, our caregivers receive specialised dementia training to understand the unique behavioural, emotional, and cognitive challenges of each stage. We provide consistent, patient-centred routines that reduce anxiety, preserve dignity, and support independence for as long as possible.
From morning routines to overnight support, our caregivers are equipped to handle every aspect of dementia care with patience and skill.
Consistent schedules for waking, meals, activities, and bedtime help minimise confusion and improve quality of life for individuals with dementia.
Our caregivers implement proven supervision strategies and environmental adjustments to keep your loved one safe from wandering and household hazards.
Caregivers prepare nutritious, easy-to-eat meals and provide gentle mealtime assistance to ensure proper hydration and nutrition at every stage.
Memory games, music therapy, reminiscence activities, and gentle exercises designed to maintain cognitive function and emotional wellbeing.
Dignified assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting — adapted to the comfort level and abilities of your loved one.
Sundowning and nighttime restlessness are common in dementia. We offer overnight caregivers and round-the-clock support for peace of mind.
Gentle reminders and cueing to ensure medications are taken correctly and on time, reducing missed doses and health complications.
Safe, reliable transportation to medical appointments, therapy sessions, and social outings to keep your loved one engaged with the world around them.
Meaningful conversation, shared activities, and patient presence that combat isolation and provide the human connection every person deserves.
Dementia progresses over time. Our care evolves alongside your loved one — providing the right level of support at every stage.
Companionship, light reminders, and social engagement to maintain independence. We focus on building trust and establishing comforting routines before more intensive care is needed.
Hands-on assistance with daily tasks, structured routines, behaviour management, wandering supervision, and therapeutic activities that engage the senses and preserve dignity.
Full personal care, comfort-focused support, and compassionate presence. We work closely with hospice teams and families to ensure your loved one is at peace in familiar surroundings.
