Dementia Care
Caring for someone with dementia can be incredibly demanding, affecting you physically, emotionally, and mentally. But you don't have to face this alone. With years of experience, Kumra Care is here to support you with whatever you need, whenever you need it.
Why is Dementia Care so important?
As our loved ones age, dementia is becoming more common, but with early diagnosis, we can better manage the journey ahead. Whether or not a diagnosis has been made, the need for compassionate care remains crucial.

Understanding Dementia:
Dementia is a complex condition that involves a range of symptoms, from memory loss to difficulties with communication. It’s caused by various conditions that affect the brain's neurons, including Alzheimer’s disease and Vascular dementia. When someone has dementia, their brain’s neurons become damaged, disrupting the flow of electrical messages and impairing essential bodily functions.
In the early stages, the effects of dementia may be subtle, but as time goes on, they can become more severe, gradually impacting a person’s ability to manage their day-to-day life. The symptoms and their severity depend on the specific areas of the brain affected and the underlying cause of the dementia. This condition can be deeply distressing and debilitating, both for those living with it and for their loved ones.
Understanding Dementia Care:
Dementia care is about much more than addressing symptoms—it’s about seeing and supporting the whole person behind the diagnosis. Each individual with dementia experiences the condition in their own unique way, facing different challenges and moments of clarity. Providing effective care means stepping into their world with empathy, offering warmth, smiles, and positive support to make their journey as comfortable and dignified as possible.
Why Choose Dementia Care at Home?
There’s truth in the saying, “Home is where the heart is,” especially for those living with dementia. Home is a place of comfort, filled with familiar faces and cherished memories, which is why staying at home is often the best option for someone with dementia. It’s where they feel safe, secure, and connected to the life they’ve known.
At Kumra Care, we offer flexible care tailored to your needs and the needs of your loved one—whether that’s a few hours a week, daily visits, or 24-hour live-in care. Our dedicated dementia Care Professionals bring not only expert knowledge but also compassion and understanding, giving you peace of mind that your loved one is receiving the very best care in the place they know and love.
