Dementia Caregiver
Dementia is a disease that significantly affects an individual's memory, thinking, decision-making, and daily living skills, especially in older age. The progressive and complex nature of the disease requires special care not only from a medical perspective but also psychologically and socially. Therefore, it is vital that the person involved in the care process of dementia patients is not only experienced but also patient, aware, and has strong communication skills.
As Damla Consulting, with over 25 years of experience in providing dementia caregiver personnel, we offer professional solutions to both individual and corporate needs. We meticulously select and direct qualified, trained, and reliable care personnel that families and institutions require.
What is Dementia? Why Does Care Require Expertise?
Dementia is a progressive cognitive disorder that can be caused by many different brain diseases, including Alzheimer’s. The process, which begins with simple forgetfulness in the early stages, gradually continues with disorientation, difficulty in decision-making, behavioral changes, and complete dependence on daily living activities.
Key considerations in the care of dementia patients:
-
Continuous supervision and security
-
Preservation of daily routines
-
Support against memory loss and disorientation
-
Regular monitoring of nutrition, hygiene, and medication use
-
Calming, understanding, and empathetic communication
-
Psychological support and emotional balance
A dementia caregiver who possesses these qualities positively affects not only the patient but also the quality of life of the patient's relatives.
