Dementia care: what it means

Good dementia care keeps routines familiar, helps with eating and drinking, and handles distress without leaning on medication. Staff are trained to keep people safe while leaving them as much independence as possible.

Will I get help from the London Borough of Greenwich with the cost of home care?
It can. Step one is the needs assessment: the London Borough of Greenwich cannot charge for it and must offer it to every person who seems to need support (Care Act 2014). If your savings and investments come to under £23,250, it may then contribute following a financial assessment, depending on income, and for care in your own home the property is left out. Separately, Attendance Allowance has no means test. Getting in touch with the London Borough of Greenwich.
