Tailored Dementia Care

April 27, 2025/in Neurological/by admin1982

At Orchids Care, we understand that dementia is a journey, not just for the person living with the condition, but for their families too. That’s why our approach to dementia care is designed to adapt and grow with each individual, offering the right support at the right time.

Person-Centred from Day One

No two people experience dementia the same way. From the very beginning, we take time to understand each client’s background, preferences, routines, and personality. This helps us build a care plan that not only supports memory and wellbeing, but also preserves dignity and independence.

Flexible Support for Changing Needs

Dementia is a progressive condition, and care needs evolve over time. Our flexible support model means we can increase the level of care as needed—whether that’s more frequent visits, help with daily tasks, or greater emotional support. We continuously review care plans to reflect what’s happening now, not what worked yesterday.

Continuity and Familiar Faces

Consistency is key in dementia care. We prioritise sending familiar faces to visit each client, reducing confusion and helping to build trusting relationships. This continuity is especially important as memory and communication become more challenging.

Compassionate Communication

As verbal skills change, our team is trained to pick up on non-verbal cues, body language, and emotional signals. We always meet our clients where they are—never rushing, always listening, and always treating them with the utmost respect.

Family Support and Reassurance

We’re here for families too. Dementia can be overwhelming, but you’re not alone. We offer regular updates, honest communication, and guidance to help you feel confident and supported at every stage.

At Orchids Care, our dementia care isn’t static—it evolves. Just like the people we care for.
We walk alongside our clients and their families, providing expert, compassionate support every step of the way.

World Parkinson’s Day 2025

April 11, 2025/in Neurological/by admin1982

At Orchids Care, we proudly support World Parkinson’s Day, a time to raise awareness of Parkinson’s disease, its symptoms, and the crucial need for ongoing research and support.

Parkinson’s is a progressive neurological condition that affects movement, coordination, and often emotional wellbeing. It impacts every individual differently, which is why person-centred care is so important.

We’re committed to providing compassionate, tailored care to individuals living with Parkinson’s, helping them maintain independence and quality of life in the comfort of their own homes.

Let’s work together to promote understanding, empower those affected, and support the push for continued medical advances.

Why Choose Home Care? The Benefits of Support in Your Own Space

April 1, 2025/in Elderly Care/by admin1982

When it comes to care options for yourself or a loved one, one of the biggest decisions is where that care takes place. At Orchids Care, we believe in the power of home care—and here’s why.

Comfort of Familiar Surroundings

There’s no place like home. Being in familiar surroundings can reduce stress and confusion, particularly for individuals with conditions like dementia or neurological disorders. It also helps maintain a sense of independence and dignity.

One-to-One, Personalised Support

Unlike institutional settings where staff may be stretched across many residents, home care ensures that the focus is fully on one person at a time. Every visit is tailored to the individual’s needs, routines, and preferences.

Staying Close to Family and Community

Home care allows individuals to stay near loved ones and remain part of their local community. This continuity of relationships and routine can be hugely beneficial for mental and emotional wellbeing.

Flexibility and Control

Home care offers flexibility—you decide when care is delivered and what it looks like. Whether it’s short daily visits or full-time support, services can adapt as needs change over time.

Reduces Risk of Hospitalisation

With attentive care at home, many preventable health issues can be managed early, reducing the risk of complications and hospital visits. There’s also a lower exposure to infections compared to care homes or hospitals.

Improved Quality of Life

Ultimately, being supported in a place where you feel safe, seen, and in control contributes to a greater overall quality of life.

At Orchids Care, our goal is to deliver high-quality, compassionate care in the comfort of our clients’ homes—because we believe care should never feel clinical. It should feel like support, like trust, like home.
