DEMENTIA CARE

We understand how difficult, challenging and stressful it may be when one is  diagnosed with dementia; and is unable to enjoy life the same as before the diagnosis. That’s why the Diamond Hearts team is here to take away the anxiety and stress, and help you maintain as active a social life as possible with little or no disruption to your personal routines thereby, making you feel better about yourself.​​

​

Balanced Diet​

Having a balanced diet is an integral part of healthy lifestyle. The fact that dementia patents does not eat sometimes, does not mean that they do not want to eat. This is often a symptom of dementia and they may not realise that they are hungry or thirsty. Continued lack of eating and drinking may worsen the effects of dementia for e.g., confusion and paranoia. That’s why our experienced team members will set aside enough time for our clients' meals, to offer them foods we know they like and provide fluids in clear glasses, based on their personalised care plan.

​

​Incontinence 

We recognise how incontinence (urinary or bowel) affects people with dementia. At Diamond Hearts, we undertake careful assessment of our client’s situations and living environments, in consultation with the relevant stakeholders including families and relatives; and make adjustments, where necessary. Such little adjustments, as putting up a toilet sign, keeping the toilet door open, having a sensor lighting in the toilet, understanding 'unique' client's signs (e.g., fidgeting) that one may be in need of a toilet, will go a long way in improving our clients' conditions.

​

​Meeting Client Needs

We therefore provide targeted assistance, to meet the various needs of our clients - dietary requirements, physical activities, therapies, support for challenging behaviours, etc. We also provide specialist care for our clients irrespective of the type or stage of dementia they may be living with.
