Work typically centres on companionship, assistance with daily routines, prompting and supporting with personal care, medication reminders, meaningful activities and practical household tasks that help people stay at home. Good dementia support carers build predictable routines, use simple communication techniques and adapt activities to a person’s history and preferences. Many clients prefer carers who help maintain familiar patterns rather than frequent staff changes.
