Our Products and Dementia
At The Care Whisperer, we understand that caring for individuals with complex conditions such as Dementia can be both rewarding and challenging. Our mission is to provide you with expert knowledge and superb products that prioritise the comfort and well-being of your loved ones. Dementia affects not only the person who has it, but all those who are closely connected to them, it causes families ongoing anxiety, grief, and confusion of what the future may bring.
There are many types of dementia, well over 100, but the most well known are Alzheimer's disease, Vascular dementia, and Lewy Body dementia. To date, there is no cure for dementia.
There are however products and services that can help support those living with dementia and their families. Examples of services could include memory cafes or respite stays in care homes. For products, you can consider sensory products such as weighted blankets, but also products that can help people to hear better, products that can hydrate, and oral health products.
It is also important not to forget the role of the carer; husbands, wives, sons, daughters, will all need support along the way. At The Care Whisperer we understand the value, and vulnerability of the carer, which is why our products are carefully selected to help them, as well as their loved one.
SENSORY PRODUCTS Calming Weighted Blankets
Weighted blankets are more than just a comforting addition to your care routine; they are proven sensory products that can significantly aid in managing anxiety and promoting a sense of security. For many individuals living with complex conditions feelings of confusion and anxiety are common, especially during times of crisis. Our weighted blankets work by applying gentle pressure to the body, mimicking the feeling of being hugged, which can help soothe and calm restless minds.
CARE BLANKETS FOR SUN-DOWNING Thoughtfully Designed Lap Blankets
Sun-downing describes a behavioural change where an individual becomes anxious or more confused later in the day, many people living with dementia experience this.
Our weighted lap blankets can help with this, they are smaller and cover only the lower half of the body, they can be used to calm people during periods of sun-downing when they are in a chair, a wheelchair, or on the sofa.
The unique design of our weighted blankets ensures they are both functional and aesthetically pleasing, making them a suitable addition at home or when out and about.
