Dementia and Alzheimer's care at home in Ghana

Dementia rarely announces itself. It arrives as a missed dose, a pot left on the fire, a name that will not come. Moving someone with dementia into unfamiliar surroundings usually makes the confusion worse, which is why we bring the nursing to them: the same nurse, the same rooms, the same routine, held steady week after week.

Who it's for

Families usually call us when they see this

  • Repeating questions, or forgetting conversations that happened hours ago
  • Medication taken twice, or not at all
  • Wandering, or becoming disoriented in familiar places
  • Agitation, suspicion or distress that peaks in the late afternoon
  • A family carer who is exhausted and no longer sleeping properly
What the nurse does

Inside the care plan

Every visit is delivered by a licensed, vetted Ghanaian nurse we employ directly, with a senior clinical lead behind them.

One familiar nurse, kept in place

We match a single nurse to the household and keep them there, because recognition is treatment in dementia care. When they take leave, a briefed colleague covers and the record continues without a gap.

A routine the day can hang on

Waking, washing, meals, medication and rest happen at the same hours in the same order. Predictability reduces agitation more reliably than any conversation about the date.

Making the home safe

The nurse assesses fall risks, kitchen and fire hazards, exits and night lighting, then advises the family on small changes that prevent the emergency nobody saw coming.

Behaviour watched and written down

Sundowning, refusal to eat, new suspicion or a sudden drop in speech are logged the day they appear, so a doctor sees a pattern rather than an anecdote.

Physical health, not just memory

Blood pressure, hydration, weight, skin condition and continence are checked at every visit. Infections in older adults often show as confusion first.

The proof

What your family sees after every visit

Wherever you live, the record arrives the same day. Several family members in different countries can hold access to it at once.

  • Timestamped arrival and departure
  • Medication given, refused or held
  • Mood, orientation and behaviour notes
  • Meals, fluids and sleep
  • Vital signs and any escalation to the clinical lead

Questions

Dementia & Alzheimer's care: what families ask

Will my mother have the same nurse every visit?
Wherever possible, yes. Continuity is the single most important factor in dementia care, so we assign one nurse to the household and keep them there. Cover during leave is by a colleague who has read the record and been briefed on her routine.
My father becomes aggressive in the evenings. Can you manage that?
Yes. Late-afternoon agitation, often called sundowning, is common and usually has triggers: fatigue, hunger, poor light, pain or a disrupted routine. Our nurses are trained to de-escalate calmly, remove triggers, and record what preceded each episode so the pattern becomes visible and treatable.
Is dementia care at home better than a care home in Ghana?
For most families, yes, at least in the earlier and middle stages. Familiar surroundings reduce disorientation, family remain closely involved, and one-to-one nursing gives far more attention than shared residential care. We will tell you honestly if we think the clinical needs have outgrown home care.
We live in the UK. How will we know how she is really doing?
Every visit produces a record with vital signs, medication, meals, mood and photographs, visible to several family members in different countries the same day. You see the trend over weeks, not just what you are told on a Sunday phone call.
