IMPROVING DEMENTIA SERVICES

Is Your Loved One Ready for Assisted Living Care Because of Memory Loss?

Dementia, covers a range of progressive, terminal brain conditions which affect an estimated 600,000 people in England and this number is rising rapidly. People with dementia require a complex mix of health and social care with patients regularly moving across organisational boundaries. The effectiveness of care depends on co-ordination and co-operation between the NHS; social services; care homes; and the voluntary sector. This is where Carefirst 24 Ltd  who has got  a group of professionals dedicated to improve the care and quality of life for service users who suffers from such condition. We envision Carefirst 24 to be globally recognized as the resource of expertise on dementia.

Stigma and negative attitudes towards mental illness and old age further exacerbate the problem. Dementia costs £8.2 billion a year in direct health and social care costs but much of this spend is in response to crisis, in the later stages of the disease.

The Department of Health recognizes  that dementia would become a national priority and that it would be developing a National Dementia Strategy.

In February 2009 the Department launched an ambitious and comprehensive five-year National Dementia Strategy aimed at helping people to live well with dementia.

Carefirst24 LTD views on  Dementia

Dementia is like cancer in the 1950s, still very much a hidden disease.

Early diagnosis of dementia is crucial in providing timely and appropriate care and in preventing more costly hospital or residential care

There is unacceptable regional variation in access to diagnostic services for dementia and in access to dementia drugs. 

Most people with dementia receive their day-to-day care from domiciliary carers or care home staff, with little understanding of dementia, which therefore puts at risk the quality of care and safety of some of the most vulnerable people in society. At Carefirst24 most of our caregivers are well equipped and on regular supervision and training so as to provide our expertise services to service users with similar condition
