Delta Wellbeing: supporting families affected by Alzheimer’s

Alzheimer’s: a growing concern 

In Wales, the number of people living with Alzheimer's is steadily increasing. This is mainly due to our ageing population. As a result, the need for effective support and care has never been more critical.  

At Delta Wellbeing, we provide hope for residents and their families in west Wales and beyond. This blog will explore our innovative approach to healthcare, along with various dedicated services and assistive technology tailored to the needs of people living with Alzheimer’s. 

Understanding living with Alzheimer’s 

Alzheimer’s is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that primarily affects the brain, leading to a range of cognitive and functional impairments. In the early stages, individuals may forget recent conversations, appointments, or where they placed everyday items. Communication becomes challenging as they struggle to express thoughts and may have trouble understanding others. 

Over time, Alzheimer’s deprives individuals of their independence and memories, affecting their ability to perform even basic self-care tasks. It is a heartbreaking condition that not only impacts those diagnosed but also places significant stress on their carers’ and loved ones. 

Delta Wellbeing approach  

We are committed to supporting individuals who live with Alzheimer’s, and Delta CONNECT offers a full wrap-around support service designed to assist you in your day-to-day life.  

⚙️ Technology Enabled Care (TEC): We offer a range of assistive technology to help individuals with Alzheimer’s manage their daily routines and stay safe. These include: 

📃 Wellbeing assessments: Our community wellbeing officers carry out a full assessment to identify individual needs and provide tailored support. 

☎️ Proactive wellbeing calls: Our friendly team provide regular check-ins to offer support and advice. 

🫶🏼 Community re-engagement: We also help individuals to stay connected to their community. 

🚑 24/7 community response service: Our dedicated community response team provides around-the-clock emergency assistance, including support with non-injurious falls and carrying out welfare checks. 

Supporting families  

It is important to highlight how we can make a meaningful impact not just on the person living with Alzheimer’s but also on their loved ones by providing advice and support to help them through this time of change. At Delta Wellbeing, we are here to help every step of the way, and together, we can make a difference to the lives of those affected by Alzheimer’s, not just during Alzheimer’s Awareness Month but every day of the year.
