Watra Care takes customer health as a priority when it comes to home care. It is very important for us to provide a service that cater for anyone that suffers from cognitive impairments such as Alzheimer’s disease. We understand that people with this condition would prefer to stay in their own home for as long as possible, rather than having to move to a care home. We understand that this condition is a progressive one, and will require careful tentative care throughout the day.

Alzheimer’s disease is a common form of dementia affecting one in every three people over the age of 65. It is not a condition brought on by old age but rather caused by physical changes in the brain, and attacks the cognitive functions. There are various symptoms that are specific to this condition including:

• Short and long term memory loss
• Your behaviour and emotional responses can change
• Affecting your speech and creating difficulties with your understanding
• Bouts of mental strain and confusion
• Mobility issues
• Confidence loss
• An increase in laziness

With the right care and support for people with Alzheimer’s disease, they can continue to maintain a healthy life at home without needing to move to a nursing home.

Watra Care offers a variety of support services to cater for people with Alzhemer’s disease in order for them to live an independent life at home they way they choose to. We endeavour to work with the customer and their family in order to provide tailored personalised service unique to the customer.

An introductory meeting with one of our specialised support managers will be arranged to create a tailor made plan for your requirements. We understand that each individual suffering from this condition is affected different, therefore the plan will be adjusted to reach your specific needs and requirements. Our highly trained staff will work to develop a relationship with you to better understand the important aspects of your life so as to maintain the way you wish to live your life. We aim to look at how to best communicate with you in order to keep you in control and then concluding the best way to care for you to meet your needs and to support you the best way possible.

We endeavour to try to understand all of customer’s unique behaviour and help them to feel comfortable with themselves.
