The Urgency of Dementia Care

Caring for a loved one with dementia is unpredictable. Behavioural changes, confusion, and wandering can create sudden emergencies that families feel unprepared to handle. These moments require immediate intervention — not in weeks, but within hours.

That’s why 24/7 dementia care at home is so important. At Ruby247, we specialise in providing fast, compassionate support for families when dementia-related challenges become overwhelming.

Why Dementia Patients Need 24/7 Support

Dementia is more than memory loss. It impacts behaviour, safety, and independence. Common urgent scenarios include:

Night-time wandering, increasing risk of accidents.

Agitation or aggression, which can escalate quickly without professional support.

Sudden confusion, especially after hospital discharge or illness.

Difficulty with daily routines, such as eating, bathing, or dressing.

These moments don’t always follow a schedule — which is why families need reliable, round-the-clock dementia care at home.

Ruby247’s Dementia Care Approach

At Ruby247, we understand the sensitivity required in dementia support. Our carers are not only trained in clinical skills but also in patience, empathy, and communication.

1. Safety First

We create a secure environment to reduce risks of falls, accidents, and wandering.

2. Calming Techniques

Carers are trained to gently de-escalate agitation, using reassurance and personalised techniques.

3. Familiar Environment

By keeping patients in their own homes, we reduce confusion and anxiety that often worsen in unfamiliar settings like hospitals or care homes.

4. Daily Living Assistance

From meals to personal care, Ruby247 ensures dignity and routine are maintained.

5. Family Support

We provide families with updates, guidance, and respite, so they don’t feel alone in their caregiving role.

Real-Life Example

Consider a family caring for a father with mid-stage dementia. He begins wandering at night and suffers a fall. The family feels overwhelmed and considers moving him to a care home.

Instead, Ruby247 places an emergency carer within hours. The carer provides supervision, assists with mobility, and keeps routines calm and consistent. The father remains safe at home, and the family avoids the stress of a sudden relocation.
