Joan's Story
When Joan was first diagnosed with dementia, we started visiting her to help with her daily routines and support her in continuing to do the things she loved. Our team delighted in creating special moments for Joan, like baking her favourite cake—a cherished recipe she remembered making with her mum and sister.
Joan’s daughter, Catherine, juggled a full-time job and a young family. When she visited her mum, she wanted to savour quality time together. We facilitated this by ensuring Joan had everything she needed to thrive in the home she once shared with her late husband. This way, when Catherine visited, they could enjoy leisurely strolls along the riverside or spend peaceful moments pottering around the garden.
For Joan, thriving at home included having nutritious, frozen meals delivered regularly, giving her a welcome break from cooking a few nights a week. Our Wellbeing Support Workers developed a deep bond with Joan, learning her likes and dislikes. This understanding, combined with advice from a nutritionist, formed the foundation of Joan's personalised menu. Our team carefully selected and shared this menu with Joan during support visits. Catherine also received a copy of the menu and nutritionist's advice monthly, giving her peace of mind that her mum was eating well.
Dementia care of the highest standard is provided by BelleVie as part of a specialist care package.
Frequently asked questions
What is Dementia?
Dementia is a general term that covers a wide range of medical conditions, including Alzheimer’s Disease. Although they’re all different, they’re all caused by abnormal brain changes that can lead to a loss of memory, and challenges with language and problem-solving.
Unfortunately, dementia is a progressive disorder, which means its symptoms typically worsen over time, eventually affecting a person's ability to function independently, their mood and personality, and their understanding of the world.
