Typical duties include companionship, supporting personal care with dignity, prompting medication and meals, keeping routines on track, spotting and calmly responding to distress or confusion, and working with families to maintain familiar surroundings.

This kind of dementia support suits carers who are observant, steady under pressure and comfortable building trust over weeks and months.
