Alzheimer’s is a progressive disease that often necessitates increased care and assistance for those affected. At S2O Care Services, we advocate for and observe the advantages of enabling individuals with Alzheimer’s to stay in their own homes. This is why we provide specialized, customized care for Alzheimer’s patients, helping them to remain in familiar settings, which is beneficial for their overall wellbeing.
We offer extra support for physical, behavioural, and emotional needs. Our expertly trained carers adopt a person-cantered approach to Alzheimer’s and dementia care, focusing on maintaining or enhancing the quality of life for our customers and providing significant reassurance for their families.
Alzheimer’s Home Care
At S2O Care Services, we provide a variety of services designed to assist people living with Alzheimer’s, helping them maintain as much independence as possible. We are committed to forming a collaborative relationship with our customers, their families, and other healthcare professionals to deliver individualized Alzheimer’s care and support.
Our specialized teams conduct visits to develop a personalized care and support plan, placing your loved one at its heart. Recognizing that Alzheimer’s affects each person differently, we tailor these plans to address the unique needs and aspirations of the individual.
Our professional staff builds meaningful relationships not just with the individual requiring care but also with their broader support network. This approach helps our carers gain a deeper understanding of the individual’s priorities and needs. We focus on learning the preferred communication styles and frequencies of our customers and their families, ensuring everyone is informed about the care provided, as well as updates on the individual’s progress and well-being.
Our open communication channels with the individual and their network allow us to better comprehend their behaviour and find effective ways to support their self-esteem.

What is Alzheimer’s?
A learning disability is characterized by diminished intellectual functioning and challenges in handling daily tasks. The extent of support required varies from individual to individual. For instance, a person with a mild learning disability might need help with community socialization or employment, while those with severe or profound learning disabilities may require full-time care.
Alzheimer’s disease is the most prevalent type of dementia, and the Alzheimer’s Society reports that over 52,000 people suffer from dementia attributed to Alzheimer’s.
While the primary risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease is age, it’s important to note that it is not a normal aspect of aging. Most people diagnosed with Alzheimer’s are over the age of 65. However, when Alzheimer’s occurs in individuals younger than 65, it’s classified as younger-onset Alzheimer’s.
As a progressive condition, Alzheimer’s symptoms steadily deteriorate over time. Although there is no cure for the disease, its symptoms can be managed with specialized Alzheimer’s care and support. Currently, there is a global initiative focused on discovering more effective treatments for Alzheimer’s.

Symptoms of Alzheimer
The initial symptoms of Alzheimer’s tend to be mild, but it’s crucial to remember that they can vary significantly between individuals.
In many cases, the earliest indications of Alzheimer’s involve slight memory issues. This might manifest as forgetting names of people or objects, or not recalling recent conversations.
As Alzheimer’s advances, additional symptoms may emerge, such as:
- Difficulties with speech and language.
- Movement challenges.
- Trouble with planning or decision-making.
- Changes in personality.
- A decline in self-confidence.
- Experiencing low mood or anxiety.
- Occurrences of hallucinations and delusions.
The Role of In-Home Alzheimer’s Support
Alzheimer’s disease leads to brain damage and impacts various functions. In its early stages, it primarily affects memory and mood, leading to symptoms like depression, anxiety, and a diminished interest in social interactions or hobbies.
Providing care for someone with Alzheimer’s, especially as symptoms intensify, can be a demanding and stressful task for both the affected individual and their caregivers. Adequate support is crucial to ensure that the needs of someone living with Alzheimer’s are adequately met.
Our Alzheimer’s care services are designed to offer customized assistance in managing symptoms. Our empathetic and devoted Alzheimer’s support staff specialize in activities like creating scrapbooks and memory books, which can be effective in stimulating memories.
If you are caring for someone with Alzheimer’s and need additional support, you can trust our carers to be there to comfort, guide, and help. We offer personalized, warm, and enthusiastic Alzheimer’s care at home, treating our customers as if they were our own family, with a focus on making a positive impact in their lives.
