Families and Care Professionals Brought Together to Improve Dementia Care at Home
Held as part of Radfield’s ongoing commitment to person-centred home care, the session invited relatives of people receiving care, alongside the company’s trained Care Professionals, to come together and explore how dementia affects not just memory and cognition, but everyday emotional experience.
The awareness event provided a combination of practical education and experiential learning, enabling participants to step into the shoes of someone living with dementia. Through discussion and guided activities, attendees explored the realities of confusion, sensory overload, and communication challenges.
Radfield Home Care provides personalised dementia and Alzheimer’s care focused on maintaining independence, identity and connection at home. Their approach is rooted in the belief that people living with dementia deserve to remain in familiar surroundings, supported by people who know them well.
The session also supported Radfield Home Care Chester & Ellesmere Port’s commitment to reducing feelings of isolation and helplessness among family members, who often feel unsure how best to help their loved one. By involving families in practical training and awareness-building, Radfield Home Care strengthens the relationship between relatives and professional care teams - leading to better outcomes and more holistic support.
The event forms part of Radfield Home Care Chester & Ellesmere Port’s broader dementia care strategy, which includes:
- Personalised care plans built around each client’s routines and life history
- Ongoing specialist dementia training for Care Professionals
- A focus on consistent relationships to reduce anxiety and promote trust
- Practical and emotional support for families seeking help for loved ones with dementia
The company’s investment in awareness and education reflects its wider mission: to help the nation age well by keeping people connected to the things that matter most.
