Dementia Care

We know how tough it can be when a loved one is diagnosed with Dementia or Alzheimer’s. The progression of the disease can be distressing to both the client and their family and difficult to understand.

A person with dementia needs much reassurance, support, and the right to enjoy a high quality of life. Moving to a care facility can often be more distressing, and staying in surroundings that they are familiar with can be highly beneficial.

A live-in carer can make dementia care in the home possible, helping people feel secure and supported with reassurance and consistency. Reassurance is important not only for the individual but can also help you feel comfortable with your loved one remaining safely in their own home.

What is Dementia

Our Live-in Dementia Care Service

We have wonderful live-in carers who are qualified in mental health or highly trained and experienced in caring for all aspects of mental health, especially people with Dementia and Alzheimer’s. They have a good understanding of the different stages of the disease and will offer support, reassurance, encouragement, patience, and kindness.

A live-in carer is also a friend and companion who will:

Assist with shopping and outdoor trips, social visits and activities
Deal with the housekeeping and household management
Support with cognitive and memory issues
Be a good listener
Offer confidence and encouragement

If you have concerns about a loved one who needs care at home or want more information about our Dementia/Alzheimer’s Care service, please call 01179 860710, and one of our friendly consultants will assist you.

They provided us with the most wonderful carer, Lucy, who stayed with Mum for long periods of time and gave amazing support to us as family.  She went way "above and beyond" and became a loved member of the family.  I can thoroughly recommend Featherbed - they are a super team!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Featherbed provided live-in care for my mother for about 15 months before she needed to go into a nursing home. The one problem we had was addressed quickly and effectively, and with that one exception, the carers Featherbed provided were superb - very caring and helpful, totally honest and understanding. They all developed a really good bond with my mother, who also valued their care.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have been absolutely delighted with the kindness, professionalism and care shown towards our dad by his carer, Tendei Sithole, (and indeed by Immaculata and Emma-his relief carers who have also been excellent) Tendei has made it possible for him to enjoy his life again and if we could give her 6 stars we would. She has been simply a godsend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can not recommend this company highly enough. Wonderful carers who have so much time, compassion, friendship and patience for my Mum. Featherbed is a company who never lets us down, and are always on hand. We'd be lost without you, thanks for all you do. X

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Featherbed provided waking nights care for my 99 year old father during the last few weeks of his life, which were very challenging. His carer, Julia, was fantastic and I can honestly say that we couldn't have coped without her. This wonderful care allowed my father to be able to stay in his own home which had always been his wish. Thank you so much Julia and Featherbed.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Featherbed have been absolutely amazing. They provided 24 hour care for my mom who is in her 90's for over a year in her own home. The care and efficiency was second to none. They were always there with advice and always there to listen. I think you'd be hard pushed to find an Agency as remarkable as Featherbed. Thanks to all the staff at Featherbed and Carers who 'Cared' for my mom. 💗

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Featherbed Homecare allowed my 90yr old  parents to live together in their home for over 2yrs. Splitting them up after 60yrs of happy marriage would have been unthinkable.  Despite initial reservations my parents quickly accepted live in care and much enjoyed having company in the house. Much credit is due to the carers who were all lovely and very caring . I have no hesitation in recommending Featherbed
