Dementia is an incurable condition that occurs after diseases have damaged the brain, such as Alzheimer's disease or a stroke. It can result in a number of debilitating symptoms which can include memory loss, difficulties with thinking and problem-solving, or a fall in aptitude for communication. Such is its prevalence that one in three people over the age of 65 in the UK end their lives with dementia, many of these people have to move into care homes as their condition worsens.
This does not have to be seen as a bad thing, a fully equipped care home can dramatically improve the care provided for people living with dementia and help them enjoy their lives. The best dementia aids can also help the carers by reducing incontinence by 50%, violence and aggression by 60%, and trips and falls by 70%.
Care Shop is one of the UK's leading suppliers of dementia care products, and our range encompasses everything from dining aids, bathroom aids, signs, and door enhancements to dementia games and activities. All of the products in our range have been specifically selected with the person living with dementia in mind, so you can be confident that all the essentials for proper dementia care are here.
