Navigating dementia one step at a time Hearing a loved one has been diagnosed with dementia can be overwhelming, leaving many feeling confused about the future and what it holds for their loved one and themselves. A lot of this uncertainty can stem from the many misconceptions about the condition.

Suzanne Mumford, Head of Nursing, Care and Dementia Services at Care UK, says: “Our recent survey* has revealed many misunderstandings about dementia. Nearly a fifth don’t know memory loss is associated with dementia and almost 20 per cent believe that if a family member develops dementia, it means they will too. A further 14 per cent claim people living with dementia can’t lead a meaningful life.

In reality, dementia is a condition that can be managed to ensure those who live with it can continue to lead fulfilling, meaningful lives and can be supported to still do the things they love.”

To help people navigate through their dementia journey, Care UK has created a new video guide, ‘One step at a time’. In this guide, you’ll hear advice from dementia specialists, including Suzanne Mumford, and residents’ families on how to deal with the initial diagnosis, how to live well with dementia and what support is available for carers.

Living well with dementia Suzanne adds: “There are so many ways people can live active and fulfilling lives after being diagnosed with the condition, and we find that most people don’t know just how impactful the small changes can be – from diet adjustment to physical and mental exercise.

“We hope this guide helps to relieve some of the pressures people face after a diagnosis.”

Support for family carers

Caring for a loved one living with dementia can be extremely challenging which is why it’s important to take time to care for yourself.

At Care UK’s Manor Lodge care home in Chelmsford, their friendly team of dementia experts are on hand to support you every step of the journey, whether it’s a listening ear over a cuppa or time out with respite care.

To find out more about the dementia care at Manor Lodge care home, please call 01245 960684.
