After Timothy Walters’ father was diagnosed with Mixed Dementia, his family decided to care for him at home for as long as possible. As his condition worsened, with other health challenges arising, the family reached out to have DBAM Solutions provide the care he so deserved.
Challenges
Managing the father’s health needs and balancing their own life became increasingly difficult for the family. His condition required physical and emotional support, both of which were challenging without professional intervention.
Approach of DBAM Solutions
DBAM assigned Moses, a very competent and caring carer, to support the family. Moses provided twice-daily visits to ensure that Timothy’s father remained mobile, took his medication as necessary, and was attended to personally. He offered emotional support to the family in an effort to try to ease some of the stress and pressure.
Key Outcomes
- Improved Well-being: Timothy’s father, through Moses, now participates more in his life by exercising and taking better care of himself.
- Improved family dynamics: the flexibility, along with the support emanating from DBAM, has considerably reduced the level of stress within the family to where the concentration of the family is shifted to being able to pass good times with their loved one.
- Caring with reliability and trust: DBAM’s attention to detail and devotion have made all the difference in the family’s coping mechanisms regarding their father’s condition.
“We are always given extra time and flexibility, and I would recommend DBAM carers to anyone needing help looking after a loved one. We are forever grateful.” – Francesca Walters
